While advertising dynamics at the macro level have been investigated in extant literature\, advertisi ng dynamics at the micro level resulting from customer heterogeneity and m icrosegmentation have yet to be studied. This thesis empirically assesses and investigates how consumers’ responses to advertising change over time by focusing on customer heterogeneity\, which has not been done in prior l iterature.\n\nThe first essay investigates the differential responses of n ew and repeat patients to Direct-to-Consumer Advertisements in the pharmac eutical industry. Due to an advertising content regulation in the Canadian pharmaceutical industry\, a help-seeking message can include disease info rmation only without brand information and should affect new patients. Con versely\, a reminder advertisement\, which includes only brand information and not disease nor efficacy information\, should affect repeat patients. Results suggest that both types of patients are affected by the advertise ments\, which implies the regulation does not work. Additionally\, reminde r advertisements become more effective at persuading new patients as consu mers become more aware of the drug\, suggesting heterogeneity in advertisi ng effectiveness over time.\n\nThe second essay examines the presence of h eterogeneous structural parameters underlying advertising dynamics\, where the source of heterogeneity is driven by consumers’ loyalty to a brand. B y using individual level purchase data for a frequently purchased consumer packaged good and data on individual advertising exposure\, I propose a s tate-space choice model with Markovian loyalty. I find that\, in addition to having higher advertising elasticities\, loyal consumers are likely to have more favorable advertising dynamics in terms of higher goodwill reten tion and lower likelihood of over-exposure than non-loyal consumers. Hence \, behavioural-based segmentation through loyalty status can improve adver tising targeting.\n\nIn the last essay\, I consider regional heterogeneity in responses to a national brand’s cross-media advertising campaign. More specifically\, I investigate the role of dynamics in advertising effectiv eness from sequential exposures to advertisements and how the resulting sy nergy differs based on geographical region. Using the same dataset as the second essay\, I propose a dynamic choice model that accounts for purchase timing and sequential exposures to advertisements. I find evidence for as ymmetric dynamic synergistic effects where prior online exposure enhances future television exposure but not vice versa. Additionally\, I find evide nce for regional variation in the presence of synergy.\n DTSTART:20240509T180000Z DTEND:20240509T200000Z SUMMARY:PhD Research Proposal Presentation: June Soo Lee URL:/desautels/channels/event/phd-research-proposal-pr esentation-june-soo-lee-357180 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
