abstract = {This study systematically reviews empirical research on short-form video platforms in destination marketing and place branding to examine how these platforms shape tourists’ attitudes, electronic word-of-mouth, and behavioral intentions. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, 33 empirical studies published between 2022 and 2025 were identified from Scopus and Web of Science and synthesized through thematic analysis. Seven themes emerged: technology acceptance and platform adoption; source credibility and influencer persona; content characteristics and cognitive-affective processing; parasocial and relational mechanisms; content source and format contingencies; generational and individual-difference moderators; and engagement dynamics in platform-native data. These themes are organized into a four-stage integrative framework (platform entry, stimulus encoding, psychological processing, and behavioral response), that maps the sequential and contingent relationships among constructs drawn from Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)/Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2), source credibility, Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R), parasocial interaction, and mental imagery theories. The framework’s primary contribution is connecting these theoretical constructs, which prior studies have used separately, into a unified processing architecture, showing how they interact within a structured processing sequence rather than operating as isolated explanatory lenses, while identifying critical gaps: the absence of observed tourist behavior, destination image as an outcome, and negative processing mechanisms. By integrating these strands, the study provides a structured basis for future empirical testing and offers managerially relevant insights for destination promotion in short-form video environments.},

abstract = {Digital branding has developed new forms of immersive space for consumers and entertainment. Advergames are a subset of this change, providing highly interactive and gamified experiences that incorporate brand messages into the gameplay. These formats are practical depending on a variety of variables, including game design, brand integration, and other factors. This chapter applies a literature review to understand the effect of advergames on consumer perception, brand attitude, and behavioral outcomes. Based on the PRISMA protocol, 35 peer- reviewed articles were selected and synthesized using a visual and thematic analysis. The results indicate that the advergames have a psychological effect on the users, including flow, narrative engagement, and affective transfer, which eventually influence brand recall, preference, and purchase intention. This review adds a systematic review of the field, providing theoretical perspectives and practical implications for future research. The study provides a foundation for developing knowledge on advergames as a tool for brand messaging. © 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved.},

This systematic literature review synthesizes 17 peer-reviewed studies (2019–2025) on how influencer marketing drives Gen Z purchase behavior in masstige fashion. The study maps mechanisms linking creator attributes, content formats, and platform dynamics to perceived value, trust, parasocial closeness, social proof, and FOMO, translating engagement into purchase intention, eWOM, and loyalty. Results highlight creator–brand fit, authenticity, and platform-native storytelling as the most consistent levers. Managerially, brands should prioritize credible creators, value-rich narratives, and transparent “drop” mechanics. Managerial implications are provided, and research possibilities are presented to advance the field. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026.},

Apart from the emerging possibilities, some concerns are being raised, one of them being AI hallucinations (AIH), present in the results of such models, which can present risks to marketing outcomes, including damaging brand image and consumer trust. This study aims to shed light on AIH's impact on content accuracy and consumer behavior by performing a systematic literature review. The findings highlight increased customer complaints and harm to brand perception. To mitigate these risks, strategies like human-in-the-loop (HITL) systems and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) models are recommended, with a call for further research to improve LLM robustness and protect the integrity of AI-generated content. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026.},

abstract = {This study investigates the impact of branded mobile applications on brand loyalty, using the “Cartão Continente” app as a case study. In an increasingly digital era, where interactive communication and consumer empowerment are paramount, mobile applications have emerged as a critical tool for promoting brand-consumer relationships. Despite the growing importance of branded apps, few studies explore the distinctive characteristics that make them effective in driving loyalty. This research aims to fill this gap by examining the relationships between perceived benefits, engagement, satisfaction, perceived quality, information quality, positive word-of-mouth, and their influence on brand loyalty. Data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to 441 respondents, with 372 valid responses analyzed using IBM SPSS 27. The sample predominantly consisted of women aged 18–24 residing in Portugal and with higher education qualifications. Results from linear regression analysis revealed that satisfaction and engagement significantly impact loyalty, while perceived benefits and perceived quality showed no statistically significant relationship. Additionally, information quality positively influenced app usage, and loyalty was strongly associated with positive word-of-mouth. Key findings highlight consumer value features such as discount coupons, product search functionality, and shopping lists, while games and social media sharing were deemed less important. The study concludes that branded apps can enhance loyalty by focusing on information quality, customer engagement, and satisfaction. However, limitations include the study's reliance on a specific app and a relatively small sample of active users. Future research should explore the characteristics of mobile applications that drive loyalty across different demographics and sectors, providing deeper insights into consumer-brand relationships in the digital age. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026.},

This research addresses how digital marketing strategies influence fan identity and loyalty within online communities, emphasising the importance of authentic and personalised content. Methodologically, the study combines a systematic literature review with an empirical analysis that contrasts the effects of commercial versus emotional digital content on fan behaviour. The empirical findings reveal that emotionally charged narratives resonate more strongly with fans, enhancing their sense of closeness and commitment to their teams. This heightened emotional engagement translates into increased intention to follow, support, and purchase merchandise, highlighting the commercial potential of emotionally driven marketing.The results support that while commercial messaging holds value and genuine storytelling fosters enduring fan loyalty and a strong brand relationship. © 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

abstract = {This study investigates the landscape of branded mobile applications for music festivals, aiming to identify the key features of such apps and provide recommendations for future research. The authors analyze mobile apps from 12 major music festivals across the USA and Europe, identifying 17 distinct features. The most common functionalities focus on on-site entertainment, such as personalized schedules, real-time updates, and interactive maps with GPS. However, the study highlights a notable gap in experience-enhancement features like social interaction, accessibility, and post-festival engagement. Emerging technologies, such as augmented reality (AR), artificial intelligence (AI), and metaverse integration, are largely absent from festival apps. The results suggest that while apps prioritize real-time, in-venue functionality, there is significant potential for incorporating advanced technologies to improve personalization, socialization, and overall festival experience. The study concludes with recommendations to festival promotors for future app feature development and a research agenda for further studies in the field, considering technologies, organizers, and festivalgoers. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025.},

abstract = {The growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in marketing practice has intensified concerns over algorithmic bias in AI-driven marketing systems, which pose significant ethical, operational, and societal risks, harming consumer trust. This study explores AI bias in marketing (AI-BM) through a bibliometric analysis of 327 studies published between 2016 and 2024, narrowed down from a dataset of 11,601 documents through the PRISMA methodology. It examines key trends and relationships among authors, countries, and sources and discusses the conceptual knowledge structure of the field. The findings reveal a significant growth in academic interest, with research highlighting an urgency in mitigating algorithmic bias in marketing applications, an area that shows persistent gaps. AI-BM research intersects with fields like ethics, data science, and consumer behavior, emphasizing the complexity of addressing these challenges. A framework and research agenda for future exploration is outlined, focusing on AI-BM mitigation considering ethical, application, and technical dimensions. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited 2025.},

abstract = {Live music festivals, as a significant aspect of modern cultural and social movements, face increasing global competition. To succeed year after year, these festivals must cultivate a loyal attendee base. However, communicating with their audience can be a challenging task. This study aims to assist festival organizers in effectively using social media advertising to raise awareness and increase engagement among their audiences. The research was conducted using a systematic literature review following the PRISMA guidelines, examining 13 studies published within the last five years. The results suggest that festival organizers must understand their audience to craft effective communication strategies, using appropriate channels and content. Authentic, viral content boosts visibility, ticket sales, and brand loyalty. This paper presents managerial implications, noting that the role of personalized social media advertising is still underrepresented in the scientific literature. The authors outline directions for future research to address this gap. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025.},
