Abstract

Owing to the latest technological advancements, alternative ads based ondigital technology have been increasing exponentially compared to traditionalads such as TV and newspaper ads. Advergaming utilizing online video gameswas recently becoming popular as a new form of advertisement. Although themarketing and communication industries make more use of advergaming everyday and despite being a growing marketing platform, there is a lack of researchin the marketing literature that examines the underpinning behavioural theoriesfor advergaming implications. Accordingly, this article aims to identifyfundamental consumer behaviour theories such as Social Cognitive Theory,Limited Capacity Model, Elaboration Likelihood Model etc. to understandwhether advergames can positively influence players toward a particular brand.This study suggests that eight major theories from the consumer behaviour fieldare relevant to elaborate players' behaviour in advergames as well as providinga holistic understanding of this new media.

Özet

Son teknolojik gelişmeler sayesinde, dijital teknolojiye dayalı alternatif reklamlar, TV, gazete reklamları gibi diğer geleneksel reklamlara kıyasla katlanarak artmaktadır. Advergaming, çevrimiçi video oyunları üzerine inşa edilmiş yeni bir reklam şekli olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Advergaming'in pazarlama ve iletişim endüstrisinde her geçen gün daha fazla kullanılmasına ve giderek büyüyen bir pazarlama platformu olmasına rağmen, pazarlama literatüründe advergaming çalışmalarını davranış teorileri kapsamında inceleyen araştırmaların yeterince olmadığı görülmektedir. Buradan hareketle bu araştırma, Sosyal Bilişsel Teori, Sınırlı Kapasite Modeli, Detaylandırma Olabilirlik Modeli vb. temel teorilere odaklanarak, advergame uygulamalarının markalara dair düşünceleri nasıl etkilediğini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu kapsamda, sekiz adet teoriye değinen bu araştırma Advergame’in bütünsel bir şekilde anlaşılmasına katkı sunmaktadır.
