Özet: The aim of this study is to analyse the influence of cause-brand fit on corporate social responsibility consumer perception in cause related marketing campaigns, that is one of the corporate social responsibility initiatives. In this context, the effects of two kinds of cause-brand fit; that are functional fit and image fit; is discussed. The study is supported by a research on Nivea brand; that is one of the leading brands of cosmetics sector. The results of the research show that both functional fit and image fit is effective on altruistic attributions of the consumers about brand motivations and corporate social responsibility perceptions. Functional fit is found to be more effective on altruistic attributions and corporate social responsibility perceptions rather than image fit. Also, altruistic attributions of the consumers about brand motivations has a strong positive influence on corporate social responsibility perceptions.
