  • Seattle's Seafaring Siren: a Cultural Approach to the Branding Of
    Running Head: SEATTLE’S SEAFARING SIREN 1 Seattle’s Seafaring Siren: A Cultural Approach to the Branding of Starbucks Briana L. Kauffman Master of Arts in Media Communications March 24, 2013 SEATTLE’S SEAFARING SIREN 2 Thesis Committee Starbucks Starbucks Angela Widgeon, Ph.D, Chair Date Starbucks Starbucks Stuart Schwartz, Ph.D, Date Starbucks Starbucks Todd Smith, M.F.A, Date SEATTLE’S SEAFARING SIREN 3 Copyright © 2013 Briana L. Kauffman All Rights Reserved SEATTLE’S SEAFARING SIREN 4 Abstract Many corporate brands tend to be built on a strong foundation of culture, but very minimal research seems to indicate a thorough analysis of the role of an organizational’s culture in its entirety pertaining to large corporations. This study analyzed various facets of Starbucks Coffee Company through use of the cultural approach to organizations theory in order to determine if the founding principles of Starbucks are evident in their organizational culture. Howard Schultz’ book “Onward” was analyzed and documented as the key textual artifact in which these principles originated. Along with these principles, Starbucks’ Website, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube page were analyzed to determine how Starbucks’ culture was portrayed on these sites. The rhetorical analysis of Schultz’ book “Onward” conveyed that Starbucks’ culture is broken up into a professional portion and a personal portion, each overlapping one another in its principles. After sifting through various tweets, posts and videos, this study found that Starbucks has created a perfect balance of culture, which is fundamentally driven by their values and initiatives in coffee, ethics, relationships and storytelling. This study ultimately found that Starbucks’ organizational culture is not only carrying out their initiatives that they principally set out to perform, but they are also doing so across all platforms while engaging others to do the same.

The study’s overall volume and audience reach results and derivative metrics (share of voice) were determined through LexisNexis Newsdesk®, while the sentiment and messaging results were determined through human analysis by the LexisNexis team. • For the human analysis, LexisNexis analyzed a random sampling of 800 clips across all coffee chains included in the study. For each clip examined, LexisNexis determined how favorably the chain was depicted using a modified five-point scale: 1. Intensely Positive; 2. Positive; 3. Neutral; 4. Mixed / Balanced; 5. Negative; and 6. Intensely Negative. Also, LexisNexis tracked what the focus of the story was from the perspective of the coffee chain from among three options: 1. Corporate News; 2. Restaurant / Product News; and 3. Other News. Lastly, LexisNexis tracked a list of key positive and negative messages about corporate and restaurant/product matters for each chain. The names and logos of Dunkin’ Donuts, Tim Hortons, and Starbucks, Costa Coffee, and Caffe Nero are the trade names and logos of their respective owners.
