'I Show Off, Therefore I Am': The Politics of the Selfie
2016
International audience; Named word of the year by the OED in 2013, the “selfie” is a worldwide phenomenon. Many see these digital self-portraits as markers for the spread of narcissism or signs of the blurring of limits between the public and private spheres. Initially popular with young people, selfies were soon adopted by politicians who, in a mediatized society, are eager to adhere to new vogues and use digital trends to self-promote. Like “digital natives”, they attempt to go viral by turning their cellphones on themselves and tweeting. Contrary to more formal images (official portraits, campaign posters) where politicians are clearly packaged and marketed, self-snapped photos taken on …

Dziedzictwo kulturowe a marka regionu
2016

The use of cultural heritage is extremely important because it is both unique and exceptional, and this creates a great opportunity for a clear distinction of the region from the competition.

CSR i jego znaczenie dla kształtowania relacji z klientami - w świetle wyników badań ankietowych
2016
Społeczna Odpowiedzialność Biznesu (CSR) jest nową, dynamicznie rozwijającą się koncepcją zakładającą równowagę między trzema wymiarami – ekonomicznym, społecznym i ekologicznym. Od przedsiębiorstwa oczekuje się nie tylko pomnażania zysków, ale również pełnego spojrzenia na otoczenie i pracowników. Społeczne zaangażowanie to obecnie, poza działalnością charytatywną, odpowiedź na potrzeby społeczności. Najważniejsze jest, by przedsiębiorstwa wdrożyły procesy, dzięki którym względy społeczne, środowiskowe i etyczne oraz kwestie praw człowieka staną się stałym elementem ich działalności i strategii biznesowej.
When Social Media Influencers Go Political: An Exploratory Analysis on the Emergence of Political Topics Among Finnish Influencers
2022
Social media influencers are often understood as non-political actors who, due to the impact they exert on their followers’ purchase decisions and brand attitudes, play an important role in marketing and branding. In recent years, various influencers have addressed political issues during important political events such as elections. This political aspect of social media influencing has not received much scholarly interest thus far. In one of the first exploratory studies on the topic, we surveyed over one hundred Finnish influencers and investigated the degree to which they engaged with political topics. Our results show that political topics are commonly brought up among Finnish influence…
Apple, Ibm and Microsoft in a war of signs
2007
The aim of my paper is exploring how image contributes on building the brand identity of specific organisations and how the meaning of the image can be resignified by the action of the players in a specific market. In particular, I will focus on the competition between three brands, Ibm, Apple, Microsoft. on the information technology market. My work is looking forward to be a continuation of the essay “Le vie du Logo” published in “Identités visuelles” by Jean Marie Floch about the visual competition between Apple and Ibm. I will use the tools of sociosemiotics, plastic and figurative analysis, screening more than 20 years of competition starting from 1984, the year in which the analysis o…
Ambienti digitali ed extended reality: alcune questioni semiotiche a partire da esempi di branding e retailing.
2021
This article raises some semiotic questions about extendend reality that involves the wide range of digital technologies including VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality) and MR (mixed reality), drawing on some cases from the world of organised retail and branding. We are talking about a set of technologies that, since the beginning of their creation and today in the fields in which they are most used, have brought to the surface, because they have questioned them, a series of theoretical problems of great interest for semiotics, such as corporeality and perception, the situation of fruition and the change of point of view, but also the narrative dimension produced - or not produced - …
Ten facts about content marketing
2018
Content marketing is facing what most trendy topics face: it is more publicly discussed than it is truly understood. Thus far content production has relied on case-specific, individual reports, and the final outcomes of content have provided surprises, both positive or negative. In hindsight it is easy to explain content success and failure, but academic studies on the logic of content creation and content life cycle have been missing. The ambitious goal of this research, Opening the Black Box of Content Marketing, funded by Business Finland, has been to systematically open up the logic of content marketing. In our project, we asked what constitutes content related expectations, how are con…
Exploring Post-COVID-19 Branding Strategies of African Destinations
2023
AbstractThe lifting of COVID-19 restrictions has led to the opening of many tourism destinations, with many destination marketing organizations (DMOs) adopting different strategies to attract tourists. This study explores the post-COVID-19 branding strategies of four award-winning African destinations (South Africa, Kenya, Morocco, and Mauritius) and how they utilize social media to communicate their destination brand identities. We curated the tweets of the National Tourism Boards of the examined destinations from their official Twitter accounts and analyzed them using Atlas.ti. We found that each of the destinations uniquely identifies and communicates its destination’s competitive advant…
Apple, Ibm e Microsoft in una guerra di segni
2009
L'obiettivo dell'articolo è esplorare come l'immagine contribuisce alla costruzione della brand identity di specifiche organizzazioni e come l'immagine può essere "risifignicata" dall'azione dei concorrenti in un mercato determinato. In particolare, l'articolo si studia la competizione tra tre brand, Ibm, Apple e Microsoft nel mercato dell'information tecnology. Il mio lavoro vuole essere una continuazione del saggio "la via del logo" pubblicato in "Identità visive" di Jean Marie Floch sulla competizione visiva tra Apple e Ibm. Gli strumenti utilizzati sono quelli della sociosemiotica, in particolare dell'analisi plastica e figurativa, lungo più di vent'anni di competizione a partire dal 19…
