This study aimed to achieve an in-depth understanding of consumers’
emotional responses to advertising slogans and their effect on the
development of advertising effectiveness.
The current study is based on a survey data.
An artificial neural network architecture was applied in this
research study and designed to find patterns of non-linearity,
especially if one is dealing with the human “emotional corridor.”
A good root mean squared error was achieved when highlighting
research results like the critical role of consumers’ cognitive
appraisals and personal involvement.
The result manages the outcome desirability of consumers from the
product desirability itself and appeal to an emotion-laden pleasant
environment. The results are
relevant and meaningful to marketing communication from storytelling
to consumer-generated advertising.
The
multiple
feedforward
the neural network has also enabled the fuzziness
of the judgemental data to be dealt with.
