Orchestrating Pet Influencers: Rhetorical and Visual Strategies in Creating Mediated Platform Content

Our paper utilizes a mix of interviews and Netnography to understand how people orchestrate their pet companions on social platforms. We provide a typology of performative storytelling and discuss implications to theory and firms.
