Evolution of studies on the ascendence of corporate brand advertising in the formation of public agenda. 2006 - 2018

Abstract

The article provides a longitudinal analysis of scientific articles in national and international journals, Brazilian congresses annals, dissertations, and theses that address the influence of corporate brand advertising on the formation of the 2006-2018 agenda in advertising, marketing, and communication sources. The research problem is the understanding of what there is and what are the characteristics of the scientific literature published on the influence of brand advertising on the public agenda’s formation. The objective is to elucidate this theme’s direction and progression in the field of advertising and to verify the specific production, its contributions, methods, and conclusions. From virtual data and critical reading, the selected productions were analyzed considering: (1) segment, (2) presence of theory, (3) authors, (4) country of origin, (5) research approaches, (6) methods, (7) contributions, arguments, and conclusions. The results show that there is a recognition that advertising interferes with the public agenda, but they do not bring concrete contributions to prove these interferences’ modes.
