Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the issue of brands’ reactions to image crises, resulting from incompetent or inconsistent with the recipients’ expectations of reactions to ideological and geopolitical problems. Starting from a single case study, the author tries to show how consumers exclude brands when they do not respect the value system accepted by their customers. Thus, ostracism becomes not only a psychological punishment, but also a tool to discipline brands.
