چکیده
هدف: پژوهش حاضر با هدف درک عمیق ماهیت داستان‌سرایی برند در بسترهای نوظهور، به دنبال شناسایی، تبیین و طبقه‌بندی جامع عناصر کلیدی تشکیل‌دهنده داستان‌سرایی برند، بررسی دستاوردهای استراتژیک و تحلیل موانع فراروی پیاده‌سازی این رویکرد در بازار عراق است.
روش پژوهش: این پژوهش با پارادایم کیفی و راهبرد تحلیل مضمون انجام گرفت. جامعه پژوهش شامل خبرگان حوزه برند بود که با استفاده از روش نمونه‌گیری نظری تا رسیدن به اشباع، ۱۹ مصاحبه نیمه‌ساختاریافته با آن‌ها صورت پذیرفت و بر اساس چارچوب کینگ و هاروکز (۲۰۱۰)، منجر به احصای ۹۵ کد باز گردید. علاوه بر این، برای افزایش اعتبار و روایی یافته‌ها، از تکنیک بازبینی توسط شرکت‌کنندگان و بررسی همسو‌سازی کدهای استخراجی استفاده شد تا دقت نتایج تضمین گردد.
یافته‌ها: نتایج نشان می‌دهد عناصر بنیادین داستان‌سرایی برند عبارتند از: اصالت، ارتباط عاطفی، شخصیت‌ها، منحصربه‌فرد بودن، ارزش‌ها، ثبات، عناصر بصری و کیفیت سرگرمی. همچنین دستاوردهای کلیدی شامل تقویت وفاداری، ایجاد تمایز رقابتی و بهبود تعامل با مخاطب شناسایی شد. در این میان، ارتباط عاطفی و همدلی به عنوان مهم‌ترین پیشران در تبدیل مشتریان عادی به هواداران وفادار برند شناخته شدند.
نتیجه‌گیری: یافته‌ها بیانگر آن است که پیاده‌سازی داستان‌سرایی برند با چالش‌هایی نظیر دشواری در حفظ اصالت، غلبه رویکرد برندمحور بر مخاطب‌محور و فقدان یکپارچگی در کانال‌های ارتباطی مواجه است که سازمان‌ها برای موفقیت در بازار عراق باید بر رفع این موانع تمرکز کنند. بنابراین، پیشنهاد می‌شود مدیران برند با اتخاذ رویکردی مخاطب‌محور و اخلاقی، ضمن انطباق داستان‌های برند با ارزش‌های فرهنگی بازار عراق، بستری پایدار برای تعامل بلندمدت ایجاد نمایند.

چکیده English

Objective: The present study aimed to gain a deep understanding of the nature of brand storytelling in emerging contexts by identifying, explaining, and comprehensively classifying the key constituent elements of brand storytelling, examining its strategic outcomes, and analyzing the barriers to implementing this approach in the Iraqi market.
Method: This study was conducted within a qualitative paradigm using a thematic analysis strategy. The study population comprised brand experts, with whom 19 semi-structured interviews were conducted using theoretical sampling until thematic saturation was reached. Based on the framework of King and Horrocks (2010), these interviews yielded 95 open codes. Furthermore, to enhance the credibility and validity of the findings, member-checking techniques and code alignment reviews were utilized to ensure the accuracy of the results.
Results: The results indicate that the foundational elements of brand storytelling include authenticity, emotional connection, characters, uniqueness, values, consistency, visual elements, and entertainment quality. Additionally, key strategic outcomes were identified as fostering brand loyalty, creating competitive differentiation, and improving audience engagement. Notably, emotional connection and empathy emerged as the most critical drivers in converting ordinary customers into loyal brand advocates.
Conclusions: The findings reveal that implementing brand storytelling faces challenges such as the difficulty of maintaining authenticity, the dominance of a brand-centric rather than audience-centric approach, and a lack of integration across communication channels obstacles that organizations must focus on overcoming to succeed in the Iraqi market. Consequently, it is recommended that brand managers adopt an audience-centric and ethical approach, aligning brand narratives with the cultural values of the Iraqi market to establish a sustainable platform for long-term engagement.
