Özet

Günden güne gücü artan yeni medyanın önemli oyuncuları olarak vloggerlar markaların iletişim çabalarına destek olurken, kendilerine bağlı kitlelerin satın alma kararlarını oluşturmalarında etkin rol oynamaktadırlar. Vloggerların karakteristik özelliklerinin yanında sundukları bilgi birikimin kaynağı ve bunu nasıl bir ruh halinde sundukları, vlogger tercihini ve sonrasında kendilerine duyulan itibar algısını etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmada iletişim çabalarında vlogları kullanacak markaların özellikle seçilen vloggerın bilgi birikimi tipleri ve karakteristik özelliklerinin vloggerın itibar oluşumunda ne kadar etkili olduğu anlaşılmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu sebeple, kolayda örneklem yöntemi kullanılarak 224 katılımcıyla yapılan anket veri toplama yöntemiyle söz konusu ilişki irdelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak literatürde henüz az sayıda olan vlog üzerine yapılacak olan gelecekteki çalışmalara ışık tutması amacıyla vloggerların iletişim aracı olarak seçimi/kullanımında, içerik yaratılmasında marka ile özdeşleşen iletişim stratejilerinin sunulmasının önemi vurgulanmaktadır.
