Abstract

Humorous memes drive emotional engagement and purchase intentions by resonating with audiences through humor, relatability, and cultural relevance. Memes outperform traditional methods with higher conversion rates and strong appeal to Gen Z, especially in Jordan, where 85% of Gen Z actively use platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Memes tap into Jordanian Gen Z's hybrid cultural identity, enhancing brand connections, loyalty, and recall, making them a powerful tool for businesses targeting this demographic.
