Abstract

Brands can now express themselves, literally, through conversations on social media. Based on a series of interviews, this research shows that conversational brands may seem more human and improve their image even without the physical representation of a speaker. However, neither their presence on social media nor their personification is sufficient. To be more human, brands must participate to a quality conversation. Consumers evaluate the conversation according to its context, content and form.
