迷因（Meme）在網路世界中盛行，搞笑幽默的圖文流竄於各大社群媒體、討論區或是私人訊息當中。在台灣，許多企業品牌與政府單位紛紛運用迷因來進行媒體操作，增強宣傳的效果。近年來也有學者針對網路迷因做為研究主題，但多數研究著重在其定義與現象上。因此，本研究目的為探討迷因應用於行銷領域與政治領域的傳播效果，並遵循消費者行為AIDA理論模型作為主要研究架構。本研究方法為量化分析法進行交叉分析，有效問卷回收共859份。另外研究輔以深度訪談法，訪談對象為業界專家與學者，對量化數據有進一步解析。研究發現，儘管迷因在受眾的認知程度上有很好的影響力，但在行為層面仍有其限制。因此行銷人員不可單只使用迷因做為行銷工具，必須搭配其他策略方得成效。最後根據研究結果和發現提出相關具體建議，提供業界與政府單位作為迷因行銷上的操作參考依據。
