We Are Where We Live: the Country-Image Congruency Effect on Brand Attitude

This research demonstrates a country-image congruency effect on brand attitude. We show that the congruency between brand image and country-of-origin image increases conceptual processing fluency, which leads to favorable brand attitude. In addition, this effect is more likely to occur for consumers with a holistic than an analytic thinking style.
