| Tiivistelmä: | Animated characters in direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising are used for several prescription drug brands. Drawing on the literature on spokescharacters (henceforth as: sp-chars.) this study addresses four research questions: i. What different types of animated sp-chars. are used in DTC advertising? ii. How are prescription drug marketers using sp-chars. in DTC advertising? iii. To what extent are these sp-chars. integrated into the websites for these brands? iv. Is there any evidence that the use of animated sp-chars. enhances advertising effectiveness? Animated characters are used in many different ways. Brands vary greatly in their integration of sp-chars. into DTC websites. Based on evidence from secondary data, it is indicated that brands using sp-chars. do better than average in recall and in brand-association tests. |
