Abstract
The consumer having high brand loyalty has been replaced with the consumer with low brand loyalty who change ideas rapidly together with postmodernism. Thereby brands started to seek communication methods which may attract care and interest of consumers and which will be able to maintain long-term relationships with them. Postmodern advertising which is focused on brand has gained importance in this point. Postmodern advertising approach utilizes hyperreality for taking interest of consumer and for performing functions for creating plausibility and awareness. At this point, recently transmedia storytelling takes attraction within framework of postmodern advertising.

Consumers can direct process by participating to communication process and may create their own reality. Thereby they maintain long-term interaction and communication media between consumers and brand.
