Predicting the Relationships Between Narrative Transportation, Consumer Brand Experience, Love and Loyalty in Video Storytelling Advertising

Storytelling video advertising has emerged as a cost-effective creative technique to engage consumers with an advertised brand. Unlike traditional television commercials and print ads, long-form video ads can persuade consumers with an authentic and engaging brand story to develop favourable branding outcomes. Using a structural equation model with SPSS Amos 25.0, we empirically tested the effects of narrative transportation evoked by video storytelling ads on brand sensory, intellectual, behavioural experience, brand love, and brand loyalty. Our findings support the relationships between ad-elicited narrative transportation and branding outcomes across different product types. Discussions and implications are provided.
