This study aims to develop a framework for analyzing the content orientation of social media through the lens of market-based assets and social penetration theory. It employs content analysis to explore the postings of key opinion leaders (KOLs) on social media. Focusing on the top 100 KOLs identified and ranked by the 2021 KOL Radar Platform, this study examines 190 posts on Facebook and Instagram. The findings reveal that KOLs establish emotional connections by sharing personal and product updates (communal networking), aligning products with audience styles to strengthen relationships (community influencing), engaging audiences with detailed product information, facilitating market understanding (social listening), and employing product distinctiveness and experiences to elicit audience responses (intelligence initiation). KOLs generally refrain from reposting others’content or engaging in controversial posts to maintain a professional and positive image. Additionally, a notable difference is observed in content presentation between Instagram and Facebook. Instagram emphasizes visual impact and immediacy, whereas Facebook’s content focuses on detailed information sharing. This study provides a preliminary framework for analyzing content orientation on social media, concluding with recommendations for academic research and practical applications. |
