The Journal of Global Scholars of Marketing Science will publish a special issue on “Digital Marketing Research and Customer Experience” with selected papers presented in a track called “Digital Marketing Research and Customer Experience” at the 2025 Global Marketing Conference at Hong Kong.
The advent of digital technologies and platforms, such as computers, mobile devices, and social media, has fundamentally transformed the dynamics of interaction between consumers and marketers (Moffett et al., 2020). Recently, numerous emerging digital technologies, including artificial intelligence and virtual reality, have emerged, reshaping how businesses market and deliver products and services to customers, as well as how customers engage with businesses (Park et al., 2024; Grewal et al., 2020; Omar et al., 2024). These emerging technologies have also altered the ways in which consumers search for information, evaluate products and services, make purchasing decisions, and share experiences with others (Schweidel et al., 2022; Rasul et al., 2024). The digital technologies adopted by marketers have integrated interactions with brands into the daily lives of customers, enabling continuous tracking of user activities throughout the entire customer journey (Kim et al., 2021). These technologies are rapidly becoming the primary sources for automated delivery processes and personalized customer experiences (Lajante et al., 2023).
