Values for sale: Building the brand image in social media
The aim of our article is to analyze the mechanisms of value creation on the example of the brand promoted by Ewa Chodakowska, a popular fitness trainer, the owner of a company selling products and services related to physical activity. At the beginning, we describe the recent changes in marketing theory, with special emphasis on the concept of marketing 3.0. In the second part of the article, we analyze the material collected on Ewa Chodakowska’s Facebook page and reconstruct the language and symbolic mechanisms of linking brand activity to a specific value system. As a result, we show the process of objectivation of abstract content values under the supervision of Ewa Chodakowska’s brand.
