"The key of a brand extension success is the perceived fit between the brand extension with its parent brand. The brand extension success itself will usually result in a high consumer acceptance and a low introduction cost for the marketer. However, understanding of this perceived is still dominated by the need to have a product feature similarity between brand extension and its parent brand. This study, on the other hand, confirms few findings that the brand effect is a stronger influenced to perceived fit than product feature similarity. Using 4 consumer package brands, the experiment conducted in this study shows that brand effect measured through brand specific associations is a far more realible determinant in increasing the probability of success for a brand extension. In addition, this study also tested the impact of different brand extension strategy (direct and associative/indirect) to find that the both strategy will provide similar positive consumer evaluation if the brand specific associations are consistent, but the associative brand extension strategy may be a better choice undera lack of brand specific associations consistency but still with similarity in the product features."

"There is still very little study on the impact of brand extension toward its parent brand. In general, if the brand extension is successful, positive impact is perceived to occur toward the parent brand. But what happens on the other way around, if a brand extension fails in the market does a negative reciprocity toward the parent brand occur? This study tries to answer this phenomenon by an experiment that creates manipulation of partial fit and low perceived fit of the brand extension. The results how's that an associative brand extension strategy is able to create la lower negative reciprocity effect compared to a direct brand extension strategy under both partial fit and low perceived fit condition. This implies that the under the partial fit and low perceived fit condition of a brand extension, an associative brand strategy is better choice of decision for marketers."

"The starting point of this study is the phenomenon termed misleading brand placement, a condition found where the brand placement in a movie depict the brand in a time where the brand has not yet exist, providing the brand an older age. As the brand used in the brand placement is a brand with high brand equity, the combination of older age and high brand equity is suspected to give a higher evaluation of the brand. To test these suspicions, 3 experiments were conducted to see the influence of consumer knowledge of the misleading brand placement, brand equity and movie liking toward the brand attitude. The results show that when consumers do not have knowledge of the misleading brand placement they are not affected by misleading brand placement; but when they know of the misleading brand placement, brand attitude tend to be still be high when brand equity is high; and finally, when brand equity is high, a positive movie liking can further strengthen brand equity in reducing the negative effect of the misleading brand placement."
