Resumen

Este artículo explora el uso pionero de los medios visuales por parte de Alfred Hitchcock para construir una marca personal que trascendió el rol de director de cine y lo consolidó como un ícono cultural. Basándose en metodologías visuales y un enfoque biográfico cualitativo, el estudio argumenta que Hitchcock ejemplifica una forma de marca perosonal visual, utilizando la cohesión narrativa y estética en las distintas plataformas mediáticas para mantener tanto el atractivo popular como la legitimidad crítica. Al examinar la retórica visual presente en sus materiales de marketing y apariciones en medios, el artículo revela cómo Hitchcock se convirtió en un símbolo multimedia perdurable.
