My current research examines how AI influencer characteristics — trustworthiness, anthropomorphism, and homophily — influence brand loyalty, with perceived authenticity as the underlying mechanism and AI literacy acting as a boundary condition.

About me

a little about myself

Huu Tin To
somewhere between data & people ✦

Hello, I'm Huu Tin To. I am a Senior Campaign Marketing Specialist with a passion for communication and marketing research. Drawing on industry experience in digital campaigns and influencer marketing, I explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way consumers perceive, engage with, and build relationships with brands.

I combine industry experience with academic curiosity to bridge the gap between marketing practice and communication research. Rather than studying consumer behavior from theory alone, I draw on years of hands-on experience in digital campaigns, influencer marketing, and brand communication to investigate questions with both academic relevance and practical impact.

My long-term goal is to pursue a fully funded PhD and contribute research that advances both academic knowledge and real-world marketing practice.
