Resumen
Este trabajo analiza la estrategia de marketing de contenidos de la empresa Duolingo en la red social TikTok, tomando como caso principal la narrativa viral conocida como “la muerte de Duo”. A partir de una metodología cualitativa y mixta, se estudiaron diez publicaciones —cinco de la cuenta global @duolingo y cinco de la cuenta en español @duolingoespanol— mediante una doble grilla de análisis: una descriptiva y otra teórica basada en categorías del marketing de contenidos como contenido emocional, narrativa de marca, participación activa, fidelización y diferenciación. Los resultados evidencian que Duolingo emplea una narrativa humorística y absurda que apela a tendencias culturales y a la interacción activa de sus comunidades, logrando una participación elevada sin necesidad de comunicación comercial directa. La campaña logra construir un vínculo emocional con el público y posicionar a la marca como referente dentro del ecosistema digital juvenil. Se concluye que, a través del storytelling y la creatividad, Duolingo transforma una narrativa ficcional en una herramienta eficaz de comunicación
y fidelización.
