Abstract

Social media has been one of the most prominent advertising platforms, and popular social network sites such as Facebook or Instagram provide different ways to advertise brands. This study aims to explore what kind of advertising strategies are implemented on social media by focusing on celebrity endorsers on Instagram. The current study also examines the reaction of Instagram users to the images shared by celebrities. A total of 2.505 Instagram images were analysed using quantitative and qualitative content techniques. The quantitative data was collected from 10 Instagram accounts of celebrity endorsers who were the biggest earners on the platform in 2017. Analysis of the data has revealed that celebrity endorsers use two main strategies to advertise brands on Instagram: Overt and covert advertising techniques. Using these techniques, celebrity endorsers also implement different strategies to promote brands. Analysis of the data has also discovered that Instagram images that contain promotional materials or branded products do not have a substantial impact on the liking practices of Instagram users.

Özet

Sosyal medya günümüzde öne çıkan reklam mecralarından birisi haline dönüşürken popüler sosyal ağ siteleri de reklamcılık açısından yeni bir çerçeve sunmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Instagram’ı odağına alarak yürütülen bir saha çalışmasıyla tanınmış kişilerin/ünlülerin sosyal medyadaki reklam pratikleri üzerine yoğunlaşmakta ve reklamların aldığı yeni biçimleri belirlemeye çalışmaktadır. Çalışma, ayrıca kullanıcıların ünlü dolayımlı reklamlara verdikleri tepkileri incelemektedir. Bu kapsamda, toplamda 2.505 Instagram görseli nicel ve nitel yöntem teknikleri kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Söz konusu görseller 2017 yılında Instagram üzerinden en fazla geliri elde eden 10 tanınmış kişinin hesabından toplanmıştır. Eldeki veriler, Instagram’da iki temel reklam stratejisinin uygulandığını göstermektedir. Bunlardan birisi açık reklam stratejisiyken diğeri gizli reklam stratejisidir. Ünlüler her iki strateji altında farklı reklam pratiklerini de kullanmaktadırlar. Sonuçlar, aynı zamanda, kullanıcıların beğeni pratiklerinin görsellerin reklam içeriklerine göre farklılaşmadığını ortaya koymaktadır
