This study seeks to answer three research questions: first question is to answer the relationship between digital storytelling, consumer-brand relationships, and co-creation; second question is how natural and artificial elements in digital storytelling affect consumer-brand relationships and co-creation; and third question is whether the relationships between digital storytelling, consumer-brand relationships, and co-creation differ between those who started watching Formula 1 before the documentary series and those who began after it. To address these questions, Formula 1-themed documentary series Drive to Survive was selected as a case study. The study based on qualitative research methods, involved semi-structured interviews with 23 participants selected through purposive and snowball sampling. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The findings reveal that digital storytelling strengthens consumer-brand relationships by fostering emotional bonds and supports co-creation through content production and social media engagement. The second finding demonstrates that the authenticity of digital storytelling enhances credibility and persuasiveness, positively affect consumer-brand relationships and co-creation. The third finding shows that those who started watching Formula 1 before the documentary series exhibited higher levels of loyalty and commitment, while those who began after the series displayed differences in social media engagement and brand relationship level.

Bu araştırmada üç araştırma sorusuna yanıt aranmıştır. Bu sorular sırasıyla dijital hikâye anlatıcılığı, tüketici-marka ilişkisi ve ortak değer yaratımı arasında nasıl bir ilişki olduğu; dijital hikâye anlatıcılığında kullanılan doğal ve yapay unsurların tüketici-marka ilişkisi ve ortak değer yaratımını nasıl etkilediği ve dijital hikâye anlatıcılığı kullanan belgesel serisinden önce örnek olay olarak seçilen Formula 1’i izlemeye başlayanlarla belgesel serisinden sonra izlemeye başlayanlarda dijital hikâye anlatıcılığı, tüketici-marka ilişkisi ve ortak değer yaratımı arasındaki ilişkinin farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığı sorularıdır. Soruların yanıtlanabilmesi için Formula 1 temalı Drive to Survive belgesel serisi örnek olay olarak seçilmiştir. Nitel araştırma yöntemine dayanan çalışmada, amaçlı ve kartopu örnekleme ile belirlenen 23 katılımcıyla yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiş ve betimsel analiz uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın bulguları dijital hikâye anlatıcılığının duygusal bağ kurarak tüketici-marka ilişkisini güçlendirdiğini; içerik üretimi ve sosyal medya etkileşimi aracılığıyla ortak değer yaratımını desteklediğini ortaya koymuştur. Araştırmanın ikinci sonucu, dijital hikâye anlatıcılığında doğallığın inandırıcılığı ve ikna ediciliği arttırmasının tüketici-marka ilişkisi ve ortak değer yaratımını olumlu yönde etkilediğini göstermektedir. Araştırmanın üçüncü sonucu, belgeselden önce Formula 1 izlemeye başlayanların sadakat ve adanmışlık düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğunu ve belgeselden sonra Formula 1 izlemeye başlayanların ise sosyal medya etkileşimi ve markayla bağ kurma açısından farklılaştığını göstermektedir.
