Идентичность и восприятие российского бренда одежды Akhmadullina Dreams в интернет-коммуникации

Несмотря на растущее внимание к исследованиям брендов в последние годы, лишь немногие направлены на изучение идентичности бренда в Сети.

В данном дескриптивном исследовании российский бренд женской одежды Akhmadullina Dreams исследуется с помощью синергетического подхода, включающего изучение нескольких составляющих идентичности бренда (бренда как личности, бренда как продукта, бренда как организации и бренда как символа), что вносит определенный вклад в понимание структуры идентичности бренда, его сущности и способности транслировать ценности своим покупателям как совокупности критериев его успешности.

Дискурсивный и семиотический анализ раскрывают ключевые особенности бренда и сходство бренда с культурной концепцией. Критический дискурс-анализ определяет ключевые особенности веб-коммуникации и их вклад в идентичность бренда.

Психолингвистический ассоциативный эксперимент показывает, насколько успешно бренд сохраняет свою идентичность и доносит до покупателей свои основные принципы и ценности.

Результаты исследования имеют большое значение для тех, кто работает в сферах, связанных с брендами: создателей брендов, авторов контента, модных блогеров, лингвистов и журналистов.
