The author focuses on the modern and growing field of marketing, which she is Visual communication in social media. The theoretical part of the thesis is related to the researched issue. The author works appropriately with scholarly sources, sufficiently cites them. The thesis has a logical structure. I appreciate that the author carried out qualitative marketing research based on primary data (specifically group discussion). The obtained data are sufficiently analysed and presented in a clear way. The author provides clear answers to established research questions. I also appreciate that the author is aware of the limitations of the research done.
I evaluate the work as “excellent” and I recommend it for defence.
Questions:
