Haseon Park
Assistant Professor in the Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication, the University of Minnesota.
- I dive deeper into examining how consumers build sustainable relationships with brands in the long term, overcoming the limitation of instant consumer-brand interaction.
- I learn more about integrating computational methods, such as web scraping through Beautiful Soup library in Python, social media data mining (mainly Twitter data through Twitter API), and NLP (natural language processing) techniques to extend the scope of my research.
- I believe in the value experimental methods can bring in to understand causal relationships between advertising tactics and consumer responses.
My work has been published in the Journal of Marketing Communications, Computers in Human Behavior, International Journal of Advertising, Journal of Interactive Advertising, Cyberpsychology: Journal of Psychosocial Research on Cyberspace, and International Journal of Mobile Communications.
