Constructing an Iconic Brand : A Qualitative Analysis of Ferrari's Visual Brand Strategy (English)
Abstract [sv]

“Att konstruera ett ikoniskt varumärke” - En kvalitativ analys av Ferraris visuella varumärkesstrategi; är en kandidatuppsats författad av Alma Sarenmark, Anna Strömbäck och Matilda Johansson vid kommunikationsprogrammet på Högskolan i Gävle.

Denna uppsats undersöker med utgångspunkt i teorier om semiotik, retorik och brand equity hur Ferrari i egenskap av historiskt Formel 1-stall använder audiovisuell kommunikation för att både konstruera och förstärka identiteten hos och myten kring sitt varumärke. Genom en kvalitativ multimodal analys av tre olika videoklipp från Ferraris officiella Youtube-kanal undersöker studien hur visuella, narrativa och auditiva element samspelar i skapandet av en emotionellt laddad varumärkesidentitet.

Resultatet av studien visar hur Ferrari använder sig av retoriska grepp, visuella resurser, symboler och djupgående berättarstrukturer för att kommunicera sin kulturella betydelse. I deras videoklipp lyfts retoriska topiker som exempelvis historia, människor med högt anseende och familjen med hjälp av semiotiska tecken och resurser. Ethos, pathos och logos samverkar för att skapa känsloladdade budskap kring professionalitet, passion och prestation. Genom medveten strategisk kommunikation konstruerar Ferrari en varumärkesmyt grundad i arv och symbolik.

Abstract [en]

“Constructing an Iconic Brand” - A Qualitative Analysis of Ferrari's Visual Brand Strategy; is a bachelor's thesis authored by Alma Sarenmark, Anna Strömbäck and Matilda Johansson within the programme of communication at the University of Gävle.

This thesis examines, on the basis of semiotic, rhetoric and brand equity theories, how Ferrari - as a historical Formula 1 team - uses audiovisual communication to both construct and reinforce the identity and myth surrounding its brand. Through a qualitative multimodal analysis of three different videos from Ferrari's official Youtube channel, the study explores how visual, narrative, and auditory elements interact in the creation of an emotionally charged brand identity.

The results show how Ferrari employs rhetorical strategies, visual resources, symbols and in-depth narrative structures to communicate its cultural significance. In their video clips, rhetorical topics such as history, highly esteemed individuals as well as family are highlighted with the help of semiotic signs and resources. Ethos, pathos and logos work together to create emotionally charged messages centered on professionalism, passion and performance. Through deliberate and strategic communication, Ferrari constructs a brand myth rooted in heritage and symbolism.
