Abstract

The emergence of social media is challenging the conceptualization of the brand. This paper develops a conceptual model of the consumption of brands in Social Media Community (SMC). The research triangulates a social media focus group and face-to-face interviews. This study identifies five core drivers of brand consumption in a SMC articulated in the Five Sources Model. Managerial implications are discussed.
