Abstract

The Brazilian Pierre de Coubertin Committee (CBPC) develops its communication work from 4 fronts: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Website. Understanding the committee's own work as a way of giving visibility to Coubertin's life and work, the following question arises: what is the scope of the communication actions of the Brazilian Pierre de Coubertin Committee? To this end, this work has the general objective: to analyse the performance of the Brazilian Pierre de Coubertin Committee page on Facebook. The specific objectives are: (1) Identify the profile of the followers of the fan page; (2) Compare the results of the fan page in the years 2019 and 2020; (3) Compare the results of engagement of the types of publication (editorials) on the fan page. CBPC's own digital presence (Gulka; Lucas, 2017) started to be established through the creation of a page on the social network Facebook in 2013. This initiative aimed to expand the Committee's impact globally. It is clear that from 2019 to the end of 2020 CBPC increased the number of followers and users involved in its publications, giving greater visibility to the activities carried out by CBPC through the interaction that occurred within the page from likes, comments and shares. It is also identified that a greater involvement of people is highlighted in periods when CBPC events are held. For future analysis, it is expected to include Instagram as a reference source to reach different audiences and positively expand the effects of CBPC's communication work.
