This research, and what follows, would not be possible without subjects willing to participate and provide open and honest responses. iv | Page ABSTRACT Consumer purchase decisions are emotionally laden, where strong emotional attachment to a brand can result in advocacy and loyalty beyond reason. In a competitive market place where organisations vie for consumer’s share of wallet, brand love is potentially a powerful factor in explaining variations in loyalty. Brand love is an emerging concept in the marketing and consumer behaviour literature, without agreement as to definition or impact. Therefore, this thesis seeks to understand brand love and investigate its impact on loyalty using interpretive and confirmatory analysis. Already, marketing and brand managers attempt to create passionate brands that consumers feel an emotional connection to, through the use of emotive advertising, where sport teams, sport leagues, and athletes generate strong passionate emotions in consumers. In this way, the sport industry is an exemplar context in which to investigate the concept of love. Through a detailed review of the literature on love in the area of psychology and the emotional attachment of consumers derived from the sport management field, this research aims to develop a greater understanding of what it means to love a sport team. Sport teams attract a variety of fan types where the love a consumer has for their team potentially differs among these fan types. As such, understanding how love is manifested in sport consumers and additionally exploring the variations in brand love for each fan type will further assist in refining the definition and conceptualisations of brand love. The primary purpose of this thesis is to explore the construct of brand love; its composition, structure and dimensionality, its potential antecedents and possible relationships with loyalty outcomes. The context for the research was the sport industry, with a focus on one case study organisation, a national sporting league based in Australia. More specifically, the focus was the brand portfolio the sport league represents: the teams. The consumers of the case study organisation represent varying fan types and thus, offer a scope for investigating varying degrees of love. The use of a mixed-method research design can provide a more comprehensive understanding of a research problem as it permits multiple methodologies to investigate the same phenomenon. The multi-level procedure assists in the development and refinement of constructs, where exploratory research v|Page was conducted to understand the manifestation of love in sport consumers. Prior research omitted the important exploratory work needed to understand person-brand relationships. In doing so, previous studies are unable to demonstrate a true understanding of the brand love concept from the consumer perspective. To overcome this, the current thesis explored what love is and is not in the eyes of the consumer by conducting sixteen in-depth interviews and two group interviews with sport consumers. Results
