Abstract

Promoting analysts and experts concur that creativity is one of the fundamental components for success in advertising. In this paper, we examine consumer perceptions and build a comprehensive model of ad (advertising) creativity. We have also enlisted the determinants of creativity and have developed a scale to measure it. Research results demonstrate that divergence and relevance factors significantly influence ad creativity and divergence is the leading factor for creativity. Further, we studied the creativity practices in the sample ds and listed the best combination of creativity dimensions which can influence purchase intentions. Another objective of this research was to examine the effects of ad creativity on consumer processing variables and consumer response variables for the Television ads. Findings indicate that creative ads significantly influence consumer processing and response variables. This study provides rating scales to advertising managers to judge the creativity of ad campaigns or of a proposed ad and furthers our understanding of relationships among the key variables. It reinforces conceptual models that give ad creativity a pivotal role in the advertising world.
