The Role of Digital Media in Image Formation: A Study on the Projection of Corporate Image on the Consumer

Öz

The purpose of this article is to discuss how corporations project their corporate identity through digital media, whether the images of corporations are formed in the desired direction after the presentation of identity, and the level of dependence of the image formation process on digital media through examples of sectoral compEtitors. As part of the research, firstly, the digital media activities of corporations were analyzed through content analysis and the images that corporations tried to form on certain subjects were determined. Afterward, a questionnaire was applied to the consumers of these corporations to identify how the consumers perceived the corporations regarding the same subjects. As a result of the research, it has been revealed that the selected corporations were able to project the images they want to their consumers to a large extent. According to the results of the Chi-Square analysis carried out as part of the research, it was found that the perception of the corporate image by consumers is not dependent on digital media. In this regard, other activities (sponsorship, advertising, etc.) were proved to be more important than digital media activities during the image formation and maintenance stage.
