Research limitations/implications: The findings would help decision makers to make useful decisions in their everyday work practices, which would ultimately increase the market competition of brands. Practical implications: Decision makers should focus on the entertainment and interactivity levels in advertisement designs that would allow customers to perceive the novelty of advertising. Social implications: The results are critical in developing consumers' attitude and perception toward a brand by providing them insights regarding the characteristics of brands.
