Synopsis

This study examined differences in types of social media messages posted by Kellogg's on Facebook and Instagram. Results indicate Instagram messages significantly increased stakeholders' purchase intent compared to Facebook messages. In addition, corporate social responsibility messages had a positive influence on stakeholders' perceptions of the organization's corporate social responsibility and organization-public relationships. This study compared attitudes towards the organization before and after viewing a social media message. Perceptions of the organization's reputation positively increased after viewing a social media message. This study expands previous research on websites and Facebook posts by analyzing Instagram messages.
