Branding Social Movements: Exploring the effectivness of onlne activism

This study looks at how online social movements can use social media marketing tactics, specifically branding, to reach their audience and reach their goals. While the use of social media for social justice movements has lots of pros and cons, social media has become an invaluable tool for branding. Branding builds loyalty and relationships between the company and consumers, so my study explores if social justice movements can use the same tactics. To do this, I have created a media strategy for an online zine about gender equity in sports and used Instagram to market and create the "brand" around the issue.
