O artigo trata da relação entre as organizações pertencentes à economia da partilha e suas práticas, comportamentos e posturas de comunicação organizacional em função da pandemia do novo coronavírus. Definimos economia da partilha (sharing economy ou economia colaborativa) como os bens e serviços fornecidos pelas plataformas digitais da rede por meio do compartilhamento de recursos e da confiança. Tomamos como premissa a digitalização compulsória a que muitos negócios se viram submetidos e partimos para a reflexão a partir daí. Nossa análise, pautada pela pesquisa bibliográfica e exploratória, se localizou em marcas escolhidas intencionalmente, no Brasil e em Portugal, buscando refletir sobre o contexto da covid-19 e suas respectivas ações de comunicação em suas propriedades digitais ou em seus perfis de mídias sociais. Ilustramos estratégias de exposição e visibilidade comunicacional desde março até agosto de 2020, chegando a uma reflexão sobre a urgência em atuar ativamente em demandas sociais, caracterizando-as como social brands. Em nosso entendimento, uma marca social tem forte presença no digital, destaca-se com boas práticas de comunicação e, acima de tudo, possui uma estratégia de atuação que vai além do seu negócio ou do lucro direto não apenas durante um período de crise, mas também consciente de seu papel social e do impacto que sua atuação responsável gera.
