RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Exploring the Value Of Shoppable Live Advertising JF Journal of Advertising Research JO J Advert Res FD WARC SP 129 OP 132 DO 10.2501/JAR-2021-008 VO 61 IS 2 A1 Kirk Plangger A1 Zixuan “Mia” Cheng A1 Jianyu Hao A1 Yiru Wang A1 Colin Campbell A1 Sara Rosengren YR 2021 UL http://www.journalofadvertisingresearch.com/content/61/2/129.abstract AB Live advertising is on the rise, with many influencers, brands, and retailers investing in the format online. Drawing on liveness theory, this article deconstructs advertising media and illustrates what it means to “go live.” Allowing for the synchronous production and consumption of media, a live advertisement typically offers a sociable atmosphere and, delivered interactively online, reduces the friction along the path to purchase. The typology here outlines how shoppable live advertising compares to other advertising media in terms of richness, temporal copresence, sociability, and shoppability.
