In the digital era, marketers increasingly use storytelling techniques to narratively transport and persuade their customers. This paper pursues three primary objectives: (1) to integrate three digitally relevant moderators of the narrative transportation effect into the marketing literature, (2) to empirically assess the integrated model with a quantitative meta-analysis of extant research, and (3) to provide directions for marketing managers to enhance the narrative transportation effect in an evolving te chnological environment. The paper contribute s to the field by means of a meta-analysis of 64 articles featuring 138 narrative transportation effect sizes . The research shows that the narrative transportation effect is stronger when the story falls in a commercial (vs. non- commercial) domain, is user ( vs. professional) generated , and is received by one story receiver at a time. The study concludes with implications for research and practice and directions for future research. |
