American Marketing Association (AMA) unveiled research that shows consumers believe companies who use customer-created advertising are more creative, customer-friendly and innovative than companies that use only professionally created advertising. "More and more companies are giving control of their brands to their consumers," said Dennis Dunlap, Chief Executive Officer, American Marketing Association. "The increase in resistance to all forms of marketing has led many organizations to rethink their strategies and focus more on involving the customer in the marketing process to build a sense of collaboration and reciprocity. It is important to consider how companies can do this successfully while reinforcing and protecting the brand." ( American Marketing Association)
