2. Literature Review

In this section, we review existing literature on persuasive communication, focusing on

key concepts relevant to our study. The literature review is structured around the
conceptualization of persuasive messages, the interplay of humor and regulatory focus
in health messages, and the moderating role of industry competitiveness in social media
communication.

2.1. Conceptualization of Persuasive Messages

Scholars have extensively explored the conceptualization of persuasive messages,

seeking to understand the mechanisms that underlie effective communication. The
Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) proposed by Petty and Cacioppo (1986) provides a
theoretical framework for comprehending the processing of persuasive information.
According to the ELM, individuals engage in two distinct routes of processing—central
and peripheral—depending on their motivation and ability to process information. This
model is pertinent to our study as it offers insights into how consumers may respond to
persuasive messages on social media, particularly in the context of sportswear brands.

Research by Shasha Teng (2014) further contributes to the conceptualization of

persuasive messages by examining the application of the ELM in the context of online
advertising. Teng's work emphasizes the importance of considering individual
differences in elaboration likelihood, suggesting that tailoring persuasive messages to
the audience's cognitive processing style can enhance effectiveness. This nuanced
understanding is crucial when analyzing how Adidas and Nike craft their messages to
resonate with diverse consumer segments on social media.

2.2. Interplay of Humor and Regulatory Focus in Health Messages

The use of humor in persuasive messages has been a subject of interest, especially in
health communication. Tianjiao Wang's study in 2023 explores the interplay of humor
and regulatory focus in health messages. Regulatory focus theory posits two distinct
motivational systems—promotion focus and prevention focus. Promotion-focused
individuals seek positive outcomes, while prevention-focused individuals aim to avoid
negative outcomes. Wang's research delves into how incorporating humor in health
messages can be more effective for promotion-focused individuals, highlighting the
relevance of message tailoring based on regulatory focus.
While Wang's study specifically addresses health communication, the findings may have
implications for persuasive messages in the sportswear industry. Understanding how
humor influences consumers with different regulatory focuses can inform Adidas and
Nike in crafting messages that resonate effectively, considering the health and wellness
associations inherent in sportswear.

2.3. Moderating Role of Industry Competitiveness in Social Media Communication

The competitive nature of the sportswear industry adds complexity to the study of
persuasive communication on social media. Alireza Golmohammadi's research in 2022
explores the moderating role of industry competitiveness in social media
communication. The study suggests that industry competition influences the
effectiveness of social media strategies, emphasizing the need for companies to adapt
their communication approaches based on the competitive landscape.

For Adidas and Nike, understanding how industry competitiveness moderates the
impact of their social media efforts is crucial. As leaders in the sportswear sector, their
strategies may need to navigate a balance between differentiation and responding to
industry trends. Golmohammadi's work prompts consideration of how the competitive
context shapes the persuasive communication strategies employed by these brands.

2.4. Existing Gaps and Research Questions

Despite the valuable insights provided by the reviewed literature, notable gaps remain.
While studies such as Bergeron's exploration of employee recruitment (2022) and
Singh's investigation into the persuasive effects of envy on social media (2019)
contribute additional dimensions to the discourse, there is a distinct lack of research
focusing on the comparative analysis of industry leaders like Adidas and Nike in the
context of persuasive communication on social media.

Research Questions Derived from Literature Review:

 How do Adidas and Nike tailor persuasive messages on social media to align with
different consumer cognitive processing styles, considering the Elaboration
Likelihood Model?
 What role does humor play in the persuasive messages of Adidas and Nike on
social media, and how does it resonate with consumers with varying regulatory
focuses?
 In the competitive landscape of the sportswear industry, how does industry
competitiveness moderate the effectiveness of Adidas and Nike's social media
communication strategies?
3. Methodology

marketing, brand storytelling, and audience interaction. The objective is to discern
patterns, successes, and challenges in their persuasive communication efforts on various
social media platforms.

3.3. Primary Research Methods: Surveys and Interviews

To enrich the analysis, primary research methods will be employed, including surveys
and interviews. Surveys will be designed and administered to the target audience,
aiming to gauge their perceptions of Adidas and Nike's social media communication.
The survey will cover aspects like message personalization, influencer marketing
effectiveness, and overall brand perception. Additionally, interviews with industry
experts and representatives from both companies will provide qualitative insights into
the decision-making processes behind their social media strategies. This primary
research will contribute a nuanced understanding of the real-world impact of these
strategies on consumer attitudes and behaviors.
3.4. Data Analysis Techniques

The collected data, both from the in-depth review and primary research, will undergo
rigorous analysis. Quantitative data from surveys will be analyzed using statistical tools
to identify patterns and trends in consumer perceptions. Qualitative data from
interviews will be subjected to thematic analysis to extract meaningful insights.
Comparative analysis techniques will be employed to juxtapose the social media
strategies of Adidas and Nike, highlighting similarities and differences. The synthesis of
findings from the literature review, social media strategy analysis, and primary research
will contribute to a holistic understanding of the persuasive communication approaches
employed by the two sportswear giants.

This comprehensive methodology ensures a multifaceted exploration of the research

questions, combining insights from existing literature, real-world social media practices,
and the perceptions of the target audience and industry experts. The triangulation of
data sources enhances the robustness of the research findings and provides actionable
insights for both academia and industry stakeholders.

including sports, music, and fashion. The brand strategically integrates influencers into
the design process, fostering authenticity and a genuine connection with its audience.

and consumer perceptions. Both Adidas and Nike demonstrated substantial success in
leveraging influencers to enhance their brand image. Adidas' collaborations with
influencers like Kanye West and Pharrell Williams resonated well with its target
audience, amplifying the brand's cultural relevance. Nike's association with high-profile
athletes contributed to a perception of excellence and aspiration.

role in shaping perceptions of both brands. Respondents appreciated the authentic and
relatable content created through influencer partnerships, highlighting the impact of
such collaborations on brand loyalty.

centered on individual achievements, effectively communicates a broader message of
determination and empowerment.

4.4. Consumer Interaction Patterns

responses. Adidas demonstrated higher engagement on platforms like Instagram, where
user-generated content and brand interactions were prevalent. Nike, while maintaining
a robust presence, exhibited a slightly different pattern, with a focus on interactive
campaigns and challenges.

Survey responses indicated that consumers appreciate brands responding to comments

and actively participating in online conversations. The analysis suggests that Adidas'
emphasis on creating a community through user-generated content contributes to
higher consumer engagement.

4.5. Insights from Primary Research

consumer perceptions. Participants expressed a preference for Adidas' relatable and
community-driven approach on social media. Nike, while perceived as aspirational, was

 The survey highlighted the importance of relatability in influencer marketing, with
participants expressing a stronger connection to influencers who align with their values.
Interviews with industry experts emphasized the need for brands to balance aspirational
content with relatable narratives to appeal to a broad audience.
