Resumo: | The current dissertation aims to understand the impact of the cross-cultural effect on consumer-brand relationship and engagement through social media platforms. A netnography analysis was conducted concerning the interactions between the selected brand - the luxury brand Kérastase - and the respective online brand community on the Social Networking Site Facebook, during a specific period of time defined, in four different countries. The content gathering from this netnography methodology took place on the online brand community defined, and it allowed the compilation of a total of 1,547 interactions. Kérastase community members’ interactions were analysed considering these brand’s publications from January 2016 to August 2018. Our research findings revealed that all Kérastase Online Business Communities demonstrated a similar level of engagement towards the brand Social Network Site pages and seem to behave in an identical way. Notably, all countries consumers were shown to be particularly motivated by the brand overall posted content, thus suggesting a good digital marketing strategy. This research also shows that for a Luxury Brand such as Kérastase, information seeking, and people referral, emerge as the two most dominant reasons for the consumers to engage with the brand demonstrating a positive attachment. On the other hand, the less positive commentaries were related to some country operational aspects such as (new e-commerce channel, lack of product, etc). The results presented show that Companies using Facebook should look to increase the level of engagement by (1) preparing clear engagement strategies, (2) focusing on the delivery of relevant brand-related information, and (3) using people referrals on the comment sections to build a CRM data able to feed a VIP Club and create an affiliates. Despite the outcomes of the current research as well as the contributions it provides, there are some limitations that have to be considered such as a sample magnitude restricted, a limited number of Countries and social platform. In addition, this study did not a longitudinal evaluation. Acknowledging these limitations referred, the future studies should then consider them for the purpose of analysis. |

Primeiramente foi realizada uma análise netnográfica com objetivo de avaliar as interações entre a marca selecionada - a marca de luxo Kérastase - e a respectiva comunidade na rede social Facebook, em quatro países diferentes, durante um período de tempo definido. A recolha de conteúdos incidiu no processo de netnografia, que ocorreu nas comunidades online das marca definida e permitiu compilar um total de 1.547 interações. As interações dos membros da comunidade Kérastase foram analisadas considerando as publicações de janeiro de 2016 a agosto de 2018. Os resultados do estudo revelaram que de uma forma geral os consumidores Kérastase apresentaram um nível semelhante de envolvimento e apresentaram um comportamento similar. Notavelmente, todos os consumidores mostraram estar familiarizados com o conteúdo partilhado pela marca, o que revela uma boa estratégia de marketing digital. Este estudo mostra também que os consumidores estão claramente interessados em receber conteúdo da marca e partilhar esse mesmo conteúdo. Por outro lado, os comentários menos positivos estavam relacionados com algumas questões mais operacionais do país específico (um novo canal de e-commerce, falta de produto, etc). Os resultados apresentados mostram que as empresas que usam o Facebook devem aumentar o nível de envolvimento com os seus consumidores (1) através de estratégias de conteúdo, (2) partilha de informação relevante relacionada com a marca e (3) construir uma Base de Dados dos consumidores que mais interagem com a marca de forma a criar um Clube restrito, onde se encaixam os melhores clientes e um programa de afiliados. O presente estudo apresenta algumas limitações uma vez que se baseia numa amostra de consumidores não muito extensa, tendo em conta que teve como análise alguns países e foi utilizada numa rede social. Para além disso, este estudo não considerou uma avaliação longitudinal. Assim e reconhecendo as limitações referidas, os próximos desenvolvimentos na área deverão aproveitar estas lacunas.2019-04-17T14:21:17Z2020-04-17T00:00:00Z2018-12-10T00:00:00Z2018-12-102018-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfapplication/octet-streamhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/17883TID:202128288engNobre, Pedro Augusto Albanoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:46:47Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/17883Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:22:35.995959Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
