Consumidores Engajados: O Papel da Comunicação de Marketing na Redução da Intenção de Boicote

Abstract

O Marketing Relacionado a Causas (MRC) é uma estratégia que integra objetivos comerciais com responsabilidade social, alinhando empresas a causas sociais. Este estudo qualitativo exploratório investigou a relação entre o comportamento de boicote e duas perspectivas do MRC: o consumidor alinhado à causa e a comunicação de marketing. Utilizando grupos focais e simulações com 13 mulheres, a pesquisa revelou que consumidores engajados com causas sociais são mais propensos a analisar criticamente as ações de MRC, demonstrando ceticismo quando percebem falta de autenticidade ou transparência. A comunicação de marketing emergiu como elemento crucial na aceitação das campanhas de MRC, podendo tanto minimizar quanto impulsionar boicotes. Os resultados indicam que uma comunicação transparente, autêntica e alinhada com os valores do público-alvo é fundamental para o sucesso das iniciativas de MRC e para construir relações positivas com os stakeholders. O estudo contribui para a compreensão do fenômeno complexo do boicote no contexto do MRC, oferecendo insights valiosos para a gestão organizacional e para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de marketing mais eficazes e socialmente responsáveis.
