Abstract

Günümüzde dijitalleşmenin artan etkisiyle beraber markalar, tüketicilere etkili bir şekilde ulaşmak için hemen her türlü sosyal medya platformundan faydalanmaya çalışmaktadır. Bireysel veya kurumsal kanallar açarak video formatında içerik paylaşılabilen ve küresel olarak en fazla kullanıcıya sahip sosyal medya platformundan biri olan YouTube, markaların fenomenlerle iş birliği yaparak tüketicilere ulaştıkları bir mecradır. Fenomenler, sponsorlu içerikler üretip paylaşarak markaların reklamlarını yapabilmekte ve böylelikle ürün ve hizmetleri takipçilerine duyurabilmektedir. Bu durumda takipçiler hem fenomenlere hem de sponsorlu içeriklerine yönelik bir güven geliştirebilmektedir. Bu güven neticesinde takipçiler, tüketimle ilgili davranışlar gerçekleştirebilmektedir. YouTube fenomenleri özelinde yapılan bu çalışmada nicel araştırma yöntemi ve kesitsel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada, YouTube’ta fenomen takip eden kullanıcıların fenomene ve sponsorlu içeriğine yönelik güvenleri sosyo-demografik değişkenler açısından ele alınmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucundan elde edilen bulgular, YouTube’ta hem fenomene hem de sponsorlu içeriğe yönelik güvenin cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim durumu, aylık gelir, günlük ortalama YouTube kullanım süresi ve fenomen takip etme biçimi açısından anlamlı bir şekilde farklılaştığını göstermiştir.

Abstract

Nowadays, thanks to the increasing impact of digitalization, brands try to make use of almost all kinds of social media platforms to reach consumers effectively. YouTube, which is one of the social media platforms where content can be shared in video format by means of individual or corporate channels, has the highest number of users globally, and it is a platform that brands reach consumers by collaborating with influencers. The influencers can advertise brands by producing and sharing sponsored content, and thus announce products and services to their followers. In this case, the followers can build trust in the influencers and their sponsored content. Based on the trust, the followers can perform consumption-related behaviors. In this study conducted on YouTube influencers, a cross-sectional quantitative research method was employed to examine the trust of the users in the influencers and their sponsored content on YouTube in terms of socio-demographic variables. The results indicated that the trust in both the influencers and their sponsored content differed significantly regarding gender, age, educational degree, monthly income, daily YouTube usage time and the way of following the influencers.
