Summary/Abstract: Building consumer engagement is one of the most frequently formulated branding objectives in social media and humor is one of the most popular techniques to create an emotional bond between a brand and its buyers. An experimental design was applied to examine the effectiveness of humor in building consumer engagement. The results show that humor can only influence basic cognitive and affective components of engagement, while having no effect on its behavioral dimensions.
