In-app advertisement is a fast-growing trend in mobile advertising, where user acceptance of ads is facilitated by the fact that users have voluntarily downloaded the app through which the ad is served. However, research in this ad category is limited. This study applies an extended version of the theory of planned behavior. Analysis results from 412 young mobile users in Vietnam using structural equation modeling showed that while localization and perceived enjoyment affected user intention to watch in-app ads as expected, perceived behavioral control and trust did not. Such results may be due to embedding the ads to applications, confusing users' behavioral intentions. The results underline the need for more future research in the area. In practical terms, companies should improve localization and entertainment aspects of ads to create more relevant and engaging advertisements.

In digital marketing, the strategic use of emojis in social media advertising, particularly on the Xiaohongshu app, significantly influences consumer acceptance and purchase behavior. This study examines the impact of emoji-laden advertisements and the role of brand metaphorical warmth on consumer perceptions. Employing a tailored questionnaire, the research explores how emojis affect brand advertisement reception, filling a gap in empirical research on emoji advertising effectiveness. Findings indicate that emojis, when used judiciously, enhance consumer acceptance and contribute to a positive brand perception. However, excessive use may undermine trust. Brand metaphorical warmth emerges as a crucial factor, suggesting that emojis can effectively convey warmth, fostering a deeper emotional connection with consumers. These insights offer practical implications for refining social media marketing strategies, advocating for a balanced approach to emoji usage in advertisements to optimize engagement and influence consumer behavior.

In addition to awareness building, TV media creates search behavior for the brand and the search result may link to a brand homepage and/or an e-commerce site. This study analyzed the impact of TV advertisements on a search volume at NAVER, a leading Korean search platform, in order to verify the impact of TV advertisements on brand-related search behavior. Results are as follows. TV advertisement exposure was significantly related to the amount of Korean search, English search, and total search. In addition, changes in TV advertising exposure also had a significant static influence on changes in search volume. The increase in the number of brand search was different by industries that carried out TV advertisements, and it was verified that the frequency of English searches increased faster than the frequency of Korean search as the exposure of TV advertisements increased. Therefore, domestic TV advertising volume has been verified to affect NAVER search volume, and the advertising industry and brand search language that conducted TV advertisements have been verified to be moderating variables. TV advertisements can be interpreted to cause brand search behavior in English even though it is not a native language for Koreans.

In this paper, we propose a multi-vision based hologram display to improve the limited viewing angle problem of a single fan hologram display. Existing single fan type displays have a narrow viewing angle. And when the length of the fan becomes longer, there is a problem of low resolution. Also, it is difficult to change data due to the use of the SD card. So, we want to implement a dedicated app to transmit data via Wi-Fi. In this paper, we designed and implemented a display consisting of 3 REG LED fans. As a result of video transmission using the app, it was confirmed that it can be used for commercial purposes such as advertisements and demonstrations. The results of this study are thought to be of great help in the popularization of multi-vision holograms.

Nowadays, people consume a lot of content such as web dramas or K-pop videos through mobile devices such as smartphones, and the market for indirect advertisements through these web dramas or K-pop videos is also increasing every year. In order to lead to the immediate purchase of indirect products in web dramas, a system that allows consumers to purchase immediately at the time the products appear in the drama is needed. In this paper, we propose a system to allow viewers to purchase products worn by celebrities immediately when viewers see and click on them. When a user clicks on a video, it recognizes the product worn by the celebrity, and displays information on the screen on the most similar product corresponding to the recognized product, allowing them to go to the seller's site where they can purchase it. In order for such a system to operate stably, a pose estimation and siamese network-based system is proposed. The proposed system will primarily be released as a streaming service in the form of an app or web page that connects the products in web dramas or other K-pop video contents screened on the mobile with e-commerce. Furthermore, in the future, the technology is expected to be used globally in various industries such as smart mobility and display kiosks.

The rapid evolution of mobile technologies and proliferation of mobile devices have created a new channel for marketing by mobile advertising. As mobile advertising is a close relative to online advertising, it also has similar problems such as advertisement injections (Ad injections). Users are exposed to unwanted advertisements and redundant web traffic by injected ads can cause additional charges of mobile devices. Although mobile ad injection can cause many problems it has been merely studied. In this paper, we analyze ad injection activities by mobile applications that exploit a legitimate application (Naver mobile application). We reverse-engineered 2 mobile applications and find out characteristics of mobile ad injections. We compare mobile ad injections with online ad injections and suggest feasible mitigations.
