Data will be analyzed thematically to identify patterns and insights regarding the implementation and impact of ethical practices and AI-driven marketing on branding strategies. The findings are expected to provide nuanced understandings of the challenges, opportunities, and outcomes associated with integrating ethical principles and AI technologies in MSMEs' branding endeavors, offering valuable insights for both practitioners and scholars in the field of marketing and business ethics.
