| Abstract: | Scientific knowledge about the effectiveness of using a content marketing advertising approach for digital marketing is lacking. Therefore, this exploratory study aims to give insights into what extent the effectiveness differs between using the soft, indirect advertising approach of content marketing for advertising nondurable goods on Facebook compared to the direct, hard sell, traditional advertising approach. First, this study showed that both types of Facebook advertisements were recognized as being an advertisement. Second, this study found a marginal but not significant pattern of the evoked attitudes towards the advertisement in favour of the content marketing advertising approach. However, respondents significantly preferred receiving Facebook advertisements with a traditional advertising approach instead of a content marketing advertising approach. As a final, this study found significant evidence for disfavour of receiving Facebook advertisements. This master thesis provides practical insights for marketers for designing social media strategies. Besides, it has laid a foundation of insights for further research into applying the content marketing advertising approach for nondurable goods on Facebook. |
