Instituições financeiras na ambiência digital: estratégias de publicização direcionadas ao público jovem

Abstract

The media coverage has changed social relations and relations with the media. Thereafter, some communication processes also needed to reconstitute, including corporate communication. Thus, this dissertation presupposes that the company-customer approach was facilitated by digital media, causing the emergence of communication strategies directed to these means or adaptation of existing ones. Based on this assertion, the present research aims to investigate which communication strategies were used by Banco Itaú and Caixa Econômica Federal to approach the young audience through the GranaBook and the Universitário . Thus, our research problem is: What are the communication strategies proposed by Itaú and Caixa in the preparation of the GranaBook and in the construction of the financial tips in the Universitário ? The general objective of this study was to analyze the communication strategies adopted by Itaú in the construction of the GranaBook and by Caixa in the preparation of the financial tips in the Universitário . The specific objectives are to map the construction of the GranaBook and the Universitário ; analyze the texts included in the seven chapters of the GranaBook and in the financial tips flap of the Universitário ; identify categories in the textual construction of the GranaBook and the financial tips of the Universitário ; and contribute to the theoretical discussion about the distinction/approximation of the concepts of communication strategies, publicity, pedagogization, and participation. To meet the set targets we performed a literature review which would help understanding the changes in the social processes that have also affected the forms of communication and, as a result, changed the advertising practices. Besides discoursing upon some concepts, such as communication strategies, publicity, pedagogization and participation, we conducted a comparative case study between the GranaBook and the Universitário , through the non-participatory covered observation and semi-structured interviews. Through the techniques undertaken by this research, we realized that Banco Itaú , in a planned and concise fashion, used communication strategies of publicity through the use of pedagogization and participation to approach the young audience, which was not the case in all the communication strategies used by Caixa Econômica Federal in order to establish a relationship with this particular public.
