The document summarizes a presentation given at the 2013 Consumer Brand Relations Conference in Orlando, Florida. The presentation explored the relationship between brand love, personality traits, and the propensity to anthropomorphize brands. It hypothesized that extroversion and openness would be positively associated with brand love, and that high involvement and transformational products would score higher in brand love. The results found openness increased brand love and that anthropomorphization increased love as well, though it did not mediate personality traits. The presentation recommended brand managers actively employ anthropomorphization cues in their branding to increase love, especially for lower involvement products.
