Warmer But Less Competent: When Co-Branding Helps Or Hurts Less-Known Brands
We show that whether co-branding with a well-known brand will be beneficial or detrimental for a less-known brand depends on consumers’ focus on warmth versus competence when evaluating the less-known brand. We show that co-branding with a well-known brand increases perceived warmth but decreases perceived competence of a less-known brand.
