Abstract

Based on the title page, this thesis examines whether Facebook can function as a new advertising medium, with a particular focus on branding through viral marketing on the platform. Situated within Culture, Communication & Globalisation (10th semester, 2008), the work positions Facebook as an emerging social networking site and considers how brands communicate in a user-driven environment. The excerpt does not provide details on the specific research question, methods, data, or findings, but it signals an interest in the opportunities and challenges of using viral approaches to generate brand awareness and engagement. Acknowledgments to an academic supervisor and a marketing manager suggest a potential link between theory and practice. Readers should consult the full thesis for the research design and conclusions.
