Abstract

This study is to understand the needs of local character design for SNS marketing and find development plan. We analyzed successful cases in Korea and Japan to find out development plan of competitive local character for SNS marketing. Method of study was literature research, case study and in-depth interview, based on component of character. These are the results. First, development of local character has to consider the use in SNS marketing. Second, local character has to be more concerned with intimacy than Symbolic. Third, it should have attractive visual, reflecting the taste of people. Fourth, it should have creative design to arouse people's curiosity. Finally, name and design of the character should be intuitive. Therefore, we expect improvement of Korean local characters, which reflect SNS marketing and current trends.

본 연구는 한국과 일본의 성공적인 지역 캐릭터 분석을 통하여 국내 SNS 캐릭터 활성화를 위한 경쟁력 있는 지역 캐릭터 개발 방안을 제시하는 데 목적이 있다. 연구 방법은 1차로 문헌 조사를 통해 SNS 지역 캐릭터의 개념과 현황을 분석하였고, 2차로 성공적인 4개 지역 캐릭터의 사례를 분석한 후, SNS 이용자를 대상으로 캐릭터 구성요건에 따른 심층 면접 인터뷰를 진행하였다. 이에 따라 제안하는 개발 방안은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 지역 캐릭터는 지역 홍보와 소통 수단으로 SNS 마케팅 활용을 목적으로 하는 개발이 필요하다. 둘째, 기존 지역 캐릭터는 지역 상징물로서 상징성이 중요시되었으나, SNS 지역 캐릭터는 친밀성을 중시해야 한다. 셋째, 대중의 기호를 반영한 높은 매력성을 가져야 한다. 넷째, 화제성을 위해 궁금증을 유발하는 독창성이 있어야 한다. 마지막으로, 한눈에 알 수 있도록 디자인과 이름이 직관적이어야 한다. 본 연구를 통해 국내 지역 캐릭터들이 SNS 마케팅의 흐름을 반영하여 지역 활성화에 더욱 높은 영향을 끼칠 수 있는 방향으로 개발되기를 기대한다.
