Abstract
Purpose: Brand public is a new theory developed as a brand communication
on social media. The aim of this thesis is to reveal the value creation
of brand public in contrast to the values created by brand

Methodology: We apply a postmodern perspective and our study is
constructionistic, therefore we have selected the qualitative

Empirical Foundation: Our data consists of 20775 tweets in the timespan from 2017-12-01 to 2018-04-09 in relation to the hashtag #HM. Through the tweets,
we have been able to study the Twitter content in terms of hashtags,
tweets and @replies.
Conclusion: Supported by our findings, we have discerned that brand public is
probably able to develop the connective actions. Second, we have
discussed how to create crowds by means of affectivity on Twitter.
Third, through relentless publics, the Twitter users can become
micro-celebrity, which is marked by the number of retweets and
@replies. Fourth, we have revealed the role played by brand public
in the multidimensional social game on Twitter. (Less)
