Ironic Advertising: Theory, Evidence And Practice, Ekin Pehlivan Yalcin
2012
Irony is one mechanism that advertisers use to attract consumer attention. Although ironic advertising (IA) is utilized in the mass media, it has received surprisingly little conceptual or empirical attention from marketing scholars.
