Abstract

In this study, our aim is to contribute to the debate around the possibility of building a brand through creating content of a pedagogic nature. Immersed in the digital ecosystem, transmedia storytelling offers wide-ranging options for corporate socialization, whether through personal identity or through business identity. Our study centers on the sector of haute cuisine, utilizing as a case study the construction on social media of the identity of Spanish chef Dabiz Muñoz, someone of significant media interest who, moreover, was named the best chef in the world in 2021. Following a mixed methodological model, we analyze his social media posts from 2017 to 2021 to reveal how his more pedagogic content achieves greater visibility on social media and contributes more efficiently to constructing a personal identity which also extends to the businesses he runs. This pedagogic approach can be studied from an advertising literacy perspective as an example of a brand/person who disseminates their discourse through formats which are not formally advertising formats.
