Too Much of a Good Thing? Consumer Response to Changes in Brand Essence
Consumer response to changes in brand essence (dampen/augment) depends on both the degree of self-brand connection and self-identity (actual/ideal). Counterintuitively, when brand connection was linked to the actual self-identity, augmenting brand essence reduced the perceived similarity between the self and the brand, causing brand identification to deteriorate.
