Bu makalenin amacı, kendisini bağlı bulunduğu toplumdan uzak görerek kendisine yabancılaşmış her bir tüketicinin markalar açısından nasıl kazanılabileceği ve markaların bu noktada tüketicilere destek olabileceğini literatüre dayandırarak irdelemeye çalışmaktır. Literatürde yabancılaşma kavramı, Antik Çağ, Orta 17.-18.yy, 18.yy-19.yy, 19.yy-20.yy dönemleri ile toplumsal (Pandemi dönemi, deprem, Modernizm, Postmodernizm) psikolojik açıdan incelenmiştir. Zorlu çalışma koşulları, şehir yaşamı, teknolojik gelişmeler, değişen tüketici davranışları gibi etkenler bireyin yabancılaşmasına aidiyet duygusunu yaşayamamasına sebep olmaktadır. Tüketim kültürü bireyi giderek yalnızlaştırarak olduğu topluma çevreye karşı yabancılaştırmaktadır. Aidiyet duygusundan yoksun kaldığı için topluluğun parçası olma isteği bireyleri arayışa sürüklemektedir. Marka topluluklarının temelinde ise sözü geçen duygusunun giderilmesi yatar. toplulukları, bulunmaktan mutluluk duyacağı topluluğa ait hissettirerek uzaklaştırabilir. tüketicilerin marka toplulukları üzerinden tekrardan kazanması hem de olumlu katkı sağlayacaktır. çalışmada, Google Scholar Web of Science (WoS) taratılan literatür kaynaklarından yararlanılmıştır.
