Overview

Computational modeling demonstrates accurate prediction of slogan memorability and brand recall, indicating practical utility for marketing design.

Key Points

To develop and evaluate predictive models that determine how well a brand slogan is remembered and how effectively it cues its associated brand.
Identified proposed memorability factors through a systematic literature review.
Operationalized textual factors using natural language processing, human ratings, and constructs derived from text embeddings.
Evaluated model predictive accuracy on recognition and cued brand recall judgments for existing and candidate slogans.
Models incorporating text embeddings and literature-derived factors accurately predicted both slogan recognition and cued brand recall.
Model evaluations revealed textual characteristics relevant to memorability that were previously overlooked in the literature.
Demonstrated practical utility by successfully forecasting the memorability of candidate slogans for new brands.
