The Presence of First-Lady Candidates in Social Media: A Comparative Analysis of the Communication and Image Strategies of Marta Nawrocka and Małgorzata Trzaskowska

Abstract

This article characterizes the communication and image strategies implemented by first-lady candidates Marta Nawrocka and Małgorzata Trzaskowska on social media during the 2025 presidential campaign. The study utilizes content analysis, incorporating both quantitative data (activity dynamics) and qualitative data (themes, interpretive frameworks, and image representations). This methodology allowed for the systematization of nine primary areas regarding the public image of the spouses of presidential candidates. The conclusions address whether the social media profiles of first-lady candidates are subject to the laws of political marketing and whether their digital activities constitute autonomous communication campaigns or remain subsidiary to their husbands’ initiatives.
