For this, we analyze the transformations that have taken place in the communication between brands and public over the decades and the reconstruction of the CB as a tool for the insertion of Casas Bahia in the digital environment and its particularities, giving voice to the brand and being the herald of its motivations and ideals. As a basis for this study, we bring the concepts of branding and marketing strategies to strengthen brands (KOTLER, 2017) and marketing, communication and advertising aspects through a qualitative research, seeking to understand the motivations that resulted in the updating of the brand. In addition, a bibliographic research was also developed, seeking as a scientific basis materials already studied in the area.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/MarketingBrandingAssistente virtualBrand PersonaHumanização de marcabachelorThesis
