My research uses empirical modeling on large datasets to understand firms' strategies for social media activism as well as their purpose-driven online branding strategies promoting positive social change. Using natural language processing, machine learning and econometric models on unstructured data at both firm and individual levels, my research converts large-scale Twitter texts into marketing insights with the purpose of strengthening firms' strategies on societal issues.
