This marketing research seminar explores the concept of brand longevity: the achievement of social salience and ongoing consumer engagement over a sustained period of time.
Abstract:
This study explores brand longevity: the achievement of social salience and ongoing consumer engagement over a sustained period of time. Our study contributes to branding theory by proposing a multi-level approach to understanding brand longevity through applying assemblage theory to answer the question: how do serial brands attain longevity within evolving socio-cultural contexts? By applying assemblage theory, we scrutinize the enduring success of a serial media brand, James Bond, over the past fifty-five years. In order to address this question, a wide range of archival brand-related data were collected and analyzed, including: analysis of films, books, marketing materials, press commentaries, reviews, as well as broader contextual data regarding the socio cultural context within which the brand assemblage developed. Our findings empirically support conceptualizing brand longevity as relying on a non-chronological approach to assembling the brand which looks outwards from the brand in order to consider the potential of brand elements to prevail in contemporary contexts.
