- The influence of cultural events organized by hotels in the selection of the establishmentPublication . Correia, Pedro Pereira; Freitas, Bruno AbreuThe aim of the research was to provide theoretical and empirical data on the weight that cultural events organized by hotels have in the selection of the establishment. A qualitative exploratory methodology focused on a single point in time and in a non-artificial scenario was adopted. The elements of the investigation were the individual and the organization and the sampling method was the voluntary and non-probabilistic. The data collection was performed through face-to-face interviews with questionnaires serving as guides. Although the cultural events organized by hotels did not appear as a selection factor of the establishments, these events were attended by a considerable percentage of clients, who were influenced by marketing communications located inside the establishments. The study was limited by the data collection period, by the authors' lack of consensus on the subject and little research on the topic.

- Social media: a new way of public and political communication in digital mediaPublication . Coelho, Patricia M. F.; Correia, Pedro Pereira; Medina, Irene GarciaToday, social media are the new way of public and political communication in digital marketing. Companies or organizations are no longer the exclusive owners of the relation of consumers with their products/services; instead, the survival of the organizations depends of the effective utilization of the social media. New web technologies have made it easy for anyone to create and distribute their own content. A tweet can be viewed by virtually millions of people for free, and advertisers don’t have to pay publishers huge sums of money to embed their messages. More consumers are on social media than ever before, and every second a company is not engaged is a wasted opportunity [1]. Consumers trust other people to provide recommendations about products and services in a very active way and it is important to know how and why social media influence organizations. This study analyzes through a literature review the importance of public and political communication through social media and proposes a model of business for successful marketing strategies.

- How society’s negative view of videogames can discourage brands from sponsoring eSportsPublication . Freitas, Bruno Duarte Abreu; Contreras-Espinosa, Ruth Sofia; Correia, Pedro Álvaro PereiraThe purpose of this research was to identify the main motives that contribute to society’s negative view of videogames and that present a risk to the eSports sponsors’ image. To achieve this, an exploratory, qualitative, and integrative literature review was conducted. According to the theoretical data, there are four main reasons why society has a negative perception of videogames. It is commonly believed that: (1) gaming is an unproductive activity, (2) violent videogames incite aggressive behaviors, (3) videogames lead to gaming-addiction, and (4) eSports lead to eSports-related gambling addiction. However, while the literature presents convincing evidence that gaming can create addiction and that eSports can promote gambling addiction, there is no conclusive evidence to assume that violent videogames lead to aggressiveness and there is evidence showing that playing videogames can be a productive activity. Nevertheless, these four beliefs are a threat to the eSports sponsors’ image and may lead them to cancel their existing sponsorships or lead other brands to not want to sponsor eSports to prevent being associated with these negative notions. This research will help expand the minor literature on eSports sponsorships and advance the knowledge of why some eSports sponsorships are terminated and why some brands may be reluctant to sponsor eSports.
- Os benefícios, riscos e estratégias do patrocínio de eSportsPublication . Freitas, Bruno Abreu; Contreras-Espinosa, Ruth S.; Correia, Pedro PereiraThis research aims to identify the strategies and effects of eSports sponsorships. A mixed method exploratory methodology will be adopted, focusing on cross sectional studies and a non-artificial scenario. The three samples, audience and sponsors of eSports and general gaming community, will be enquired through questionnaires, with a voluntary and non-probabilistic sampling method. The literature has shown that brands have created sponsorships tailored to fans’ interests in order to benefit from improved brand image and awareness and high ROI. To avoid the threats of a young industry, sponsors have been studying the market and seeking to establish a legal framework and anti-corruption measures. This research looks to expand the small literature on eSports sponsoring and present relevant new data for sponsors.
