Co-Branding in Advertising: the Issue of Category and Image Fit
This paper examines the importance of category and image fit for a joint advertising alliance using top-down versus bottum-up advertising processing. The results show that product and image fit are equally effective in producing a positive attitude change towards the focal brand, irrespective of the advertising strategy used. Moreover, although consumers appeared to process all fit cues, a dual fit (category and image fit) did not lead to a more positive brand attitude change than a single fit (either category or image fit), whereas no fit did not impact the attitude towards the focal brand.
