Abstract

In this paper, the authors analysing Ceres case on Facebook aim to show that the brand has changed the role moving from static and unidirectional communication tool to a semantic space in which company and numerous agents (consumer and/or individual) exchange information to meet their needs. The active role that the digital marketing tools can play in a constant condition of bidirectional relationship becomes important: the firm is a complex adaptive system in which the boundaries are the cultural values that allow to maintain relationship with consumers; low level of boundaries shows a horizontal structure in which emerges the brand composed of both efforts of firm and consumer; consumer engagement reduces the product materiality reinforcing the service logic (service dominant logic). Therefore, authors will apply content analysis to study Ceres Facebook page, collecting users' feedback to the brand posts to evaluate the brand positioning and to plan different behaviours.
