Vargo A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Joe Bob Hester Donald Lewis Shaw Francesca Carpentier Justin H. Gross Jaime Arguello © 2014 Chris J. Vargo ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Chris J. Vargo: Brand Messages On Twitter: Predicting Diffusion With Textual Characteristics (Under the direction of Joe Bob Hester) This dissertation assesses brand messages (i.e. tweets by a brand) on Twitter and the characteristics that predict the amount of engagement (a.k.a. interaction) a tweet receives. Attention is given to theories that speak to characteristics observable in text and how those characteristics affect retweet and favorite counts. Three key concepts include sentiment, arousal and concreteness. For positive sentiment, messages appeared overly positive, but still a small amount of the variance in favorites was explained. Very few tweets had strong levels of arousal, but positive arousal still explained a small amount of the variance in retweet counts. Despite research suggesting that concreteness would boost sharing and interest, concrete tweets were retweeted and shared less than vague tweets. Vagueness explained a small amount of the variance in retweet and favorite counts. The presence of hashtags and images boosted retweet and favorite counts, and also explained variance. Finally, characteristics of the brand itself (e.g.

  • Xiaohongshu RED Guide
    Your Guide To XiaoHongShu Published by Elaine Wong, Lauren Hallanan, and Miro Li 3 December 2018 Why We Created This Report Despite Xiaohongshu generating a lot of buzz in 2018, most of the English language content (and even much of the Chinese language content) continues to give a macro, high-level view of the platform with very few specifics. Why that is, we’re not sure, but there is clearly a need for a more in-depth explanation because, to be frank, most people still don’t truly understand the platform. So we took it upon ourselves to create this guide. Throughout this year we’ve observed that many brands feel lost and unsure when it comes to marketing on Xiaohongshu. That’s understandable based on the fact that it is a highly localized and comparatively new platform and most lack the experience using it. As a result, they fail to grasp what sets it apart, what makes it tick. In this report we attempt to explain what makes Xiaohongshu distinct, why the platform has become popular, and how to create the right style of content for the platform. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out, our contact information is located at the end of the report! What is Xiaohongshu? Xiaohongshu () also known as “Little Red Book” or “RED” is one of the largest and fastest growing social e- commerce apps in China. Xiaohongshu describes itself as “a sharing platform for young people's lifestyles through deep-rooted UGC shopping sharing community The platform is designed to help users discover and purchase products, share recommendations, and provide helpful tips.

    PRESS RELEASE COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE Watch the video of the press release: https://youtu.be/RkV-yY-v5AA Paris, April 27 2020 HOTEL GROUPS: EBITDA 2020 RANKING The rise of Asian groups is a groundswell, driven by the boom in the number of hotels in the APAC region, which by 2019 will have become the world’s largest in terms of supply. Growth came from China It all started in China. No less than 5 of the world’s top 15 hotel groups are now based in the Middle Kingdom. With one exception, all those with double-digit room growth in the top 20 are Chinese. This 2020 edition of the world ranking is above all marked by a real revolution coming from India: OYO, a group founded in 2013 that only entered the top 10 last year. The Thai Minor Hotel Group entered the world’s Top 20 in 2020. The American groups remain on the offensive and the Europeans on a growth dynamic.

To what extent does this translate, or not, into economic and financial power? Because if size matters today, EBITDA and valuation also. What is the basis of a hotel group’s power? Several variables come into play. At a time when many operators are «asset-light» and are developing mainly in franchising or management, the volume of the hotel portfolio under the brand name naturally remains a key dimension, as it is a source of long-term value creation.

  • Delivering the Multisensory Experience of Dining-Out, for Those Dining-In, During the Covid Pandemic
    REVIEW published: 21 July 2021 doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.683569 Delivering the Multisensory Experience of Dining-Out, for Those Dining-In, During the Covid Pandemic Charles Spence 1*, Jozef Youssef 2 and Carmel A. Levitan 3 1 Department of Experimental Psychology, Oxford University, Oxford, United Kingdom, 2 Chef/Patron, Kitchen Theory, London, United Kingdom, 3 Department of Cognitive Science, Occidental College, Los Angeles, CA, United States In many parts of the world, restaurants have been forced to close in unprecedented numbers during the various Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns that have paralyzed the hospitality industry globally. This highly-challenging operating environment has led to a rapid expansion in the number of high-end restaurants offering take-away food, or home-delivery meal kits, simply in order to survive. While the market for the home delivery of food was already expanding rapidly prior to the emergence of the Covid pandemic, the explosive recent growth seen in this sector has thrown up some intriguing issues and challenges. For instance, concerns have been raised over where many of the meals that are being delivered are being prepared, given the rise of so-called “dark kitchens.” Furthermore, figuring out which elements of the high-end, fine-dining experience, and of the increasingly-popular multisensory experiential dining, can be captured by those Edited by: Igor Pravst, diners who may be eating and drinking in the comfort of their own homes represents an Institute of Nutrition, Slovenia intriguing challenge for the emerging field of gastrophysics research; one that the chefs, Reviewed by: restaurateurs, restaurant groups, and even the food delivery companies concerned Alexandra Wolf, are only just beginning to get to grips with.
