Abstract: | This paper explores the ways in which consumers' brand trust (herein as: b-t.) during a brand crisis is affected via direct experience vs. when it is amplified through mass media. By using case-study methodology, it is found that generalised public images of a product crisis initiate a public perception of risk, providing more negative effects on b-t. than the actual consumers' experience does. Herein, the media is introduced as a 3rd partner influencing the trust relationship btw. consumers and brands. Suggestions for restoring and preserving customers' b-t. are provided. |
