Abstract

Nowadays, when digitalization affects human activities, it is inevitable for brands to resort to marketing illusions. Digital storytelling, which has been frequently used by brands in recent years, can be counted as a dimension within marketing illusions. Digital storytelling allows the brand to interact by creating an emotional connection with its target audience. Creating a sustainable brand has an important place in branding of digital storytelling to attract consumers. This study addresses the use of digital storytelling for the BT21 cult brand created by members of the world-famous BTS (Bangtan Boys) group. In this context, “BT 21 Original Story” story sections published in 2017-2023 in English on Youtube were examined using KH-Coder analysis. The perception of the defined characteristics of BT21 characters created by BTS members to the BT21 characters in the story according to the Meaning Transfer Model has been evaluated by the consumer. For certain characters, the perception formed by consumers regarding product-consumer compatibility encompasses the majority of the character's attributes, whereas for other characters, this is not the case.

Özet

Dijitalleşmenin beşerî faaliyetleri etkilediği günümüzde markaların pazarlama yanılsamalarına başvurması kaçınılmazdır. Son yıllarda markalar tarafından sıklıkla kullanılmaya başlanan dijital hikâye anlatımı, pazarlama illüzyonları içerisinde bir boyut olarak sayılabilir. Dijital hikâye anlatımı markanın hedef kitlesi ile duygusal bir bağ oluşturarak etkileşim içerisine girmesine olanak tanımaktadır. Sürdürülebilir bir marka oluşturmak tüketicilerin ilgisini çekmek için dijital hikâye anlatımının markalamada önemli bir yeri bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Dünyaca ünlü BTS (Bangtan Boys) grubunun üyeleri tarafından oluşturulan BT21 kült markasının dijital hikâye anlatımının tüketici tarafından ne şekilde algılandığı ele alınmaktadır. Bu bağlamda Youtube’da ingilizce olarak 2017-2023 yılları arasında yayımlanan “BT 21 Original Story” hikâyesi bölümleri KH-Coder yapay zekâ programı kullanılarak incelenmiştir. BTS üyeleri tarafından oluşturulan BT21 karakterlerinin tanımlanmış özelliklerinin hikâyedeki BT21 karakterlerine aktarımlarının Anlam Transfer Modeli’ne göre tüketici tarafından algısı değerlendirilmiştir. Bazı karakterler için; ürün-tüketici uyumluluğu açısından tüketicide oluşan algı, karakterin sahip olduğu özelliklerin çoğunu kapsarken, bazı karakterler için ise kapsamadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
