Abstract The rapid growth of social media has transformed entrepreneurship by making visual identity and lifestyle branding central to business success. This secondary review paper examines the rise of aesthetic entrepreneurship, a business approach that uses design, storytelling, and curated digital experiences to strengthen consumer engagement and business growth. Drawing on existing literature from management, marketing, consumer psychology, and digital entrepreneurship, the study explores how visual elements such as colour, typography, photography, packaging, and platform-specific branding influence consumer perceptions and purchasing decisions. The paper also analyses the role of major social media platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and YouTube, in enabling creator-led businesses and digital-first brands to build communities and expand their market reach. Real-world case studies demonstrate how aesthetic entrepreneurship contributes to brand recall, customer loyalty, premium pricing, and organic growth while also highlighting challenges such as algorithm dependence, market saturation, authenticity concerns, and ethical issues. The review concludes that although visual identity provides a valuable competitive advantage in digital markets, sustainable entrepreneurial success depends on combining aesthetics with product quality, authentic storytelling, and long-term customer relationships. Future developments in artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and personalised marketing are expected to further reshape aesthetic entrepreneurship.
