Study of the use of Instagram as a political communication tool by Lula da Silva in the 2022 electoral year.
Abstract
This article investigates the strategic use of Instagram as a political communication tool to strengthen the image of Luís Inácio Lula da Silva during the 2022 electoral year. Through a mixed approach that combines qualitative and quantitative methods, content analysis reveals consistent patterns and coherent strategies in the posts. Lula's communication on the digital platform demonstrates narrative coherence, strategic adaptation, political personalization with a focus on the candidate, and the use of images that convey authority and affection. The results indicate that this approach strengthened the brand identity and image of the candidate, establishing a consistent connection with the target audience. The research contributes to the understanding of the effective use of Instagram as a political communication tool, providing insights into branding and political mobilization strategies.
