Abstract

In today's age of influencers and user-generated content, the effectiveness ofdigital content is of importance in marketing. However, it remains unclear if contentproduced by brands or consumers is more effective and whether the content should beinformative or persuasive. In this study, we ran two experiments and found that, whenexposed to consumer-generated content, consumers engage more with the brand and aremore likely to purchase when the content is informative rather than persuasive. Thisrelationship may be explained by a serial mediation path: consumer-generated persuasivecontent activates persuasion knowledge, which tends to lower brand trust, with adetrimental effect on marketing outcomes. Conversely, in brand-generated content, wefound no difference between informative and persuasive approaches. Highlighting theneed to adapt content to the channel, this research contributes to the literature on contentand influencer marketing, with practical implications for marketers investing in socialmedia and influencer campaigns.
