Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic brought several uncertainties that affected the well-being of the population. This study aims to analyze how administrations sought to build their public brands based on digital media as a result of the transparency ranking to face Covid-19. 480 articles were collected referring to the federal government, the Federal District, and five Brazilian states that stood out the most in the results of the Covid-19 Transparency Index through the webometric procedure, referring to the publication of a new ranking. As a result, three themes were obtained that establish a level of openness of data regarding Covid-19 and it was possible to establish relationship between Public Branding and Transparency to observe the alignment or not between these concepts. The results may provide recognition of the role of transparency in cementing a public brand of transparent government.
