Metaphorically Transgressing the Brand Relationship
Across three experiments and one field-longitudinal study, this research investigates the effects of relationship metaphors and brand transgressions on brand relationship strength. This work demonstrates that in the face (vs. absence) of a transgression, consumers who break a pencil (vs. put together a puzzle) have a weaker (vs. stronger) brand-relationship.
