Abstract

This research examines the paradox of outsourcing digital engagement in organizational communication, highlighting how third-party agencies and independent content creators influence brand identity in online public spaces. With more organizations turning to external contributors for social media management, questions arise about the consistency and authenticity of their messaging. The study aims to determine whether outsourcing boosts audience interaction while compromising alignment with organizational values. Adopting a mixed-methods design, it incorporates digital ethnography and content performance triangulation through thematic analysis, engagement metrics, and stakeholder perception surveys involving internal teams, agencies, and creators. Results show that while outsourced content generates greater engagement, it is often viewed by internal teams as lacking authenticity and deviating from core values. This indicates a tension between creative impact and brand consistency, underlining the need for deliberate, strategic collaboration. Organizational identity in digital platforms is thus portrayed as fluid and negotiated, offering insights for managing co-created content across evolving communication landscapes

Abstract

This study explores the representation of situationships—ambiguous romantic relationships lacking clear commitment—in Ariana Grande's album Eternal Sunshine, using Robert Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love as a framework. Situationships, characterized by emotional intimacy and passion but low commitment, reflect the complexities of modern romantic dynamics. Through qualitative content analysis of 13 songs, the research identifies themes of intimacy, passion, and commitment, revealing how Ariana's lyrics depict the emotional struggles and communication challenges inherent in such relationships. The findings highlight the tension between emotional closeness and the absence of commitment, leading to instability and dissatisfaction. The study underscores the importance of effective interpersonal communication in navigating ambiguous relationships and emphasizes music as a powerful medium for reflecting contemporary relational dynamics. By integrating theoretical and cultural perspectives, this research contributes to understanding the emotional and communicative complexities of modern love, offering insights into the role of music in articulating the nuances of romantic relationships.
