Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can be defined as corporate activities that contribute to sustainable development and social well-being (Dahlsrud, 2008). Donation-linked activities in which a portion of the revenue is donated to the local community when consumers purchase products can be part of CSR activities (Folse, Niedrich, & Grau, 2010). Consumers now also want to consume "good" CSR activities, purchase "good" corporate products, and “reward” the companies engaged in CSR activities (Bhattacharya & Sen, 2004). Consequently, it is important that companies promote products that are associated with CSR so that consumers can identify the company is doing good (Lii & Lee, 2012). This is because CSR-related products can lead to consumers’ positive responses or evaluation (e.g. Brown & Dacin, 1997), high buying intentions (e.g. Mohr & Webb, 2005), and positive impact on brand attitude or brand equity (e.g. Hur, Kim, & Woo, 2014).

This research scrutinizes the synergism of virtual reality, the Internet, and television on credibility, memory, attitude, presence, and purchase intention. Respondents are randomly assigned to view two advertisements on the same or different media. This present study parses outs the relationship between immersive media and extant media in cross-media advertising.

This research aims to look at the contradictory effects of corporate social responsibility as conducted by luxury brands. On the one hand, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is known to product positive effects on brands such as the transfer of goodwill and image but on the other hand because of the purported impact of disfluency, previous research has argued that the emphasis on self enhancement runs counter to the more social agenda of CSR. In this study we examine of power and how that can mediate when positive and negative impact of CSR when such campaigns are implemented by luxury brands.
