One variation of a method for linking images in social feeds to branded content includes: loading an image to a social networking system; receiving, from a first user, a tag including identification of an item visible in a particular region of the image; associating the tag with the particular region of the image; based on the tag, correlating the item with a particular brand; posting the image to a social feed of the particular brand within the social networking system; and in response to interaction with the image, in the social feed, by a second user, directing the second user to brand content specified by the particular brand.
