Trabalho de conclusão de curso (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, Campus Frederico Westphalen, Curso de Relações Públicas, RS, 2023. ; The present work aims to analyze how the advertising campaigns of the C&A and Arezzo brands construct narratives about race and class, reflecting on their brand positioning.

In total, we analyzed 79 posts published on the Instagram profiles of both brands during the months of January, February, and March 2023. Through this analysis, we understood the marketing communication strategy adopted by these brands and how it adjusts according to the social class of their target audiences. Additionally, we observed how fashion plays a role in the dissemination of trends and how brands have the social responsibility to promote inclusive communications to contribute to the reduction of social inequalities. We highlight that fashion not only influences trends and standards but also plays a crucial role in the representation of diversity, emphasizing the need for significant progress in the visibility of black individuals.
