Одним из актуальных инструментов, появление которого приходится на начало 20-х годов XXI века, являются метавселенные. Актуальность изучения метавселенных как инструмента коммуникации определяется возрастающей популярностью этой цифровой среды. Объектом исследования настоящей статьи являются метавселенные во взаимосвязи с новой эстетикой в формировании диалога между брендом и потребителем. Предметом – формы и способы эстетической коммуникации. Целью статьи является выявление форматов взаимодействия брендов с метавселенными, демонстрирующими неограниченные возможности в формировании новой эстетики. Степень изученности темы эксплицирована в обзоре литературы. Теоретические аспекты исследований дополнены автором: рассматриваются и выявляются «способы входа» в метавселенные; для анализа эмпирической базы автор опирается на методику, выявляющую разные аспекты в эстетике коммуникации брендов через метавселенные. Авторское исследование проведено на основе системы медиамониторинга «Медиалогия», приведены данные за два года: 60 коммуникационных кампаний, отраженных в 12 459 медиатекстах СМИ и соцмедиа разных типологических сегментов. Несмотря на отсутствие массового характера в продвижении подобных проектов, автор полагает, что в формате взаимодействия брендов с метавселенными просматривается огромный потенциал: количество подобных кампаний растет, они оставляют о себе «цифровой след», однако не всегда вписываются в формат профессиональных конкурсов или попадают в фокус внимания СМИ. Автор подробно останавливается на анализе кейса победителя конкурса «Инфоповод года 2022» и рандомном кейсе бренда Samsung, близком по концепции к победителю конкурса «Инфоповод года 2022», однако не заявлявшем о себе в конкурсе. Автор демонстрирует его потенциал для освещения в СМИ и соцмедиа. В заключении делается вывод о том, что интерес брендов к метавселенным как инструменту продвижения будет расти, поскольку он позволяет раскрывать эстетику бренда и формировать новый тип иммерсивных взаимоотношений с аудиторией.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Digital technologies are changing the landscape of brands communication with consumers. The relevance of studying metaverses as a means communication is determined by the growing popularity of this digital media. The object of study of this article is metaverse, an important component of which is the new aesthetics in the formation of a dialogue between the brand and the consumer. The subject is forms and methods of aesthetic communication. The purpose of the article is to identify possible formats for the interaction of brands with metaverses that demonstrate unlimited possibilities in new aesthetics. The theoretical aspects of the research are represented as the methods of entry into metaverses. To analyze the empirical base, the author relies on a methodology that identifies different aspects in the aesthetics of brand communication through metaverses. The author’s research was carried out on the basis of the Medialogy media monitoring system and represents the data for two years: 60 communication campaigns reflected in 12,459 media texts of mass media and social media of different typological segments. Despite the lack of mass character in the promotion of such projects, the author believes that there is enormous potential in the format of interaction between brands and metaverses: the number of such campaigns is growing, they leave a ‘digital trace’, but do not always fit into the format of professional competitions or fall into focus of media attention. The author dwells in detail on the analysis of the case of the winner of “The Newsbreak – 2022” competition (Russia) and a random case of the Samsung brand, which is close in concept to the winner, but did not participate in the competition. The author demonstrates its potential for media coverage and social media. The results of the study show that brands’ interest in metaverses as a means for promotion will grow as it allows them to reveal brand aesthetics and create a new type of immersive relationship with audiences.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>эстетика коммуникации</kwd><kwd>бренд-коммуникации</kwd><kwd>метавселенные</kwd><kwd>иммерсивность в продвижении бренда</kwd><kwd>продвижение брендов</kwd><kwd>цифровая среда</kwd><kwd>виртуальный мир</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>aesthetics of communication</kwd><kwd>brand communications</kwd><kwd>metaverses</kwd><kwd>immersiveness in brand promotion</kwd><kwd>brand promotion</kwd><kwd>digital environment</kwd><kwd>virtual world</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Алабина Т.А., Дзангиева Х.С., Юшковская А.А.
