01 · Research question
How do people respond to AI-generated advertising?
The book compares advertisements created by artificial intelligence with those created by a marketing expert. It examines advertising effectiveness and acceptance for products with high and low consumer involvement.
The research originated in Philip Schäfer’s master’s thesis in business psychology at HMKW in Frankfurt am Main, now Media University.
Publisher’s overview and author profile02 · Study design
An online experiment with 104 participants.
The analysis includes 104 people who completed the experiment. Two complementary designs address the two research questions.
- Advertising effectiveness
- Within-subjects design: comparisons within the same participants.
- Advertising acceptance
- Between-subjects design: comparisons between different groups.
03 · Reading the research
Effectiveness and acceptance deserve separate attention.
For marketing practice, this distinction is a useful starting point: assess what an advertisement achieves and how its creation is perceived. Both aspects need their own evaluation. This practical interpretation of the research approach helps frame a campaign test.
The study concerns its specific advertisements, product contexts and sample. It should not be treated as a benchmark for every audience or today’s AI models. Evaluating a current campaign still calls for tests with its own audience and objectives.
The full analyses and critical discussion are available in the book. Access to the full chapters may require a purchase or institutional access.
