From the paper we analyze how labor and consumption are referenced in the speech of employees, former employees and dealers of cosmetics brand. They are subject to decode the organizational culture of the corporation, including the speeches relating to its products, to recode the construction of the meaning of life itself, a process which trajectory and attribute memory and elect the sphere of work as privileged mediation. To do so, we contextualize the object from the relationships between communication, work and consumption and the role of digital media in mediations and midiatizações subjects. In the research strategies of these narratives are applied foundations of discourse analysis in support of the French line in the examination of the corpus, whose content is the result of selection interviews.

A partir da comunicação, analisamos como trabalho e consumo são referenciados na fala de funcionários, ex-funcionários e revendedoras da marca de cosméticos. São sujeitos que decodificam a cultura organizacional da corporação, incluindo os discursos relativos aos seus produtos, para recodificá-la na construção do sentido da própria vida, processo ao qual atribuem trajetória e memória e elegem a esfera do trabalho como lugar privilegiado de mediação. Para isso, contextualizamos o objeto a partir das relações entre comunicação, trabalho e consumo e o papel das mídias digitais nas mediações e midiatizações dos sujeitos. À investigação das estratégias dessas narrativas são aplicados os fundamentos da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa como suporte no exame do corpus, cujo conteúdo resulta de seleção de depoimentos. Desta análise, são apresentadas conclusões parciais sobre a forma com que os discursos dos depoentes são construídos e projetam uma visão de mundo relacionada à Avon como organização promotora de significados sociais. O estudo apresenta, também, as estratégias de comunicação mobilizadas pela empresa, pelo Museu da Pessoa e pelos sujeitos para a constituição das vozes a fim conferir ao discurso um caráter de isenção e legitimidade.

Social media consolidation on the digital environment increased the power of changes and obligated communication professionals to review paradigms. The way of working, thinking and planning has changed because of immediacy and speed of information spreading in a symmetric two-way street process – between the sender and receiver. This work brings a research with communication professionals and analyze how timing was impacted on long-term planning process – traditionally annual – for campaigns and public relations on digital environmental. The research is based on academic references from communication, marketing, social media, technology, administration disciplines and additionally articles from research institutes and companies. In order to describe experiences lived by the communication professionals, we decided on qualitative research using profound interview technique with non-probabilistic sampling focused on marketing and public relations disciplines. The results point to an ongoing learning, day by day, from mistakes and successes, making professionals divide their concerns between the period of advance needed for the planning process and the need for its continuous reviewing / O advento da internet causou uma revolução na forma como a sociedade se relaciona. A consolidação das mídias sociais na ambiência digital acentuou o poder das mudanças e forçou a comunicação a rever paradigmas. O imediatismo e a velocidade com que a informação se propaga num processo simétrico de mão dupla – emissor e receptor – mudou a forma de trabalhar, pensar e planejar. O presente trabalho traz uma pesquisa com profissionais de comunicação e analisa como o fator prazo tem impactado no processo do planejamento de longo prazo – tradicionalmente anual – das ações voltadas para o ambiente digital. A pesquisa baseou-se em amplo referencial teórico das áreas de comunicação, marketing, redes e mídias sociais, tecnologia, administração, além de institutos de pesquisas e empresas. A fim de descrever as experiências vividas pelos profissionais, empreendemos ainda uma pesquisa qualitativa com entrevistas em profundidade, com amostra não probabilística, com foco nas disciplinas de marketing e propaganda e relações públicas. Os resultados apontam para um aprendizado ainda sendo conquistado, dia após dia, a partir de tentativas e erros, onde a preocupação dos profissionais fica dividida entre o prazo de antecedência com que é feito um planejamento e a obrigatoriedade de sua revisão contínua.

We live in a society marked by intense consumption in real time and not restricted by distances. To keep alive this pace of consumption, companies try to stimulate the market through a type of advertising that incorporates in its language features of urgency and immediacy observed and extracted from society. From a social perspective, this thesis discussed the presence of the time element in contemporary life and its appropriation by marketing communication. The research developed based on the method of content analysis studied more than three hundred television commercials and about two hundred printed advertisements which presented solid evidence of this appropriation of the culture of urgency and immediacy by market communication. This emphasis on the urgent and on the immediate strengthens and stimulates the existing social model. In other words, the sum of a lifestyle that worships speed with the presence of such elements in the market communication contributes to the promotion of a dictatorship of the now, based on the promise of instant gratification. These elements that characterize contemporary society are, from the commercial point of view, effectively appropriated by market communication as this contemporary social condition, when transformed into selling points, contributes to cause a state of harmony with the consumer s cognitions. / Esta tese analisa as relações da comunicação de mercado com a obsessão pelo imediato presente na cultura social contemporânea. Vive-se hoje numa sociedade marcada pelo consumo intenso, em tempo real e não restrito por distâncias. Para acelerar a circulação de produtos e serviços, as empresas tentam estimular o mercado através de anúncios que incorporam em sua linguagem as características de urgência e imediatismo observadas e extraídas da sociedade. Sob uma perspectiva social, esta tese discutiu a presença do elemento tempo na vida contemporânea e sua apropriação pela comunicação mercadológica. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida sob o método de análise de conteúdo em mais de trezentos comerciais de televisão e em cerca de duzentos anúncios impressos que apresentaram sólidas evidências dessa apropriação da cultura de urgência e imediatismo pela comunicação de mercado. A ênfase no urgente e no imediato reforça e estimula o modelo social vigente. Em outras palavras, a soma de um estilo de vida que cultua a velocidade com a presença de tais elementos na comunicação de mercado contribui para a promoção de uma ditadura do agora, baseada na promessa do prazer instantâneo. Esses elementos que caracterizam a sociedade contemporânea são, do ponto de vista comercial, eficientemente apropriados pela comunicação de mercado, uma vez que essa condição social, quando transformada em argumento de vendas, contribui para provocar no consumidor um estado de consonância com suas cognições.
