The necessity to eagerly discuss ways to exploit these opportunities by various institutions in various fields, especially those working in the field of advertising emerged; each advertising agency hopes that its campaigns will reach millions of people. However, this can’t be easily achieved in the traditional marketing as it will cost an arm and a leg. Surprisingly, viral video advertisements can overcome such a hurdle by reaching millions of viewers at a lower cost than traditional advertising.

Dr. Mona Moussa elaborated that the book is interested in answering a specific question and filling a specific gap if emotion in viral video advertisements is considered one of the most important determinants of predicting the behavioral intentions of individuals towards the intention of sharing the content itself or purchasing through the formation of their personal attitudes towards the brand and how these trends can play a mediating role in the relationship between this emotion emanating from viral video advertisements and the behavioral intentions formed as a result of this emotion. Interestingly, the book was published and is now available on Amazon.
