To do this, a structured questionnaire and online survey were employed to solicit opinions of consumers so as to establish their brand experience in virtual space and purchasing attitude on social media platform. In other to ascertain an empirical evidence, a convenience sampling technique was used to select 89 students (online community members) from Tomas Bata University in Zlin, Czech Republic for the study. Findings emanated from the nonparametric test showed that, OBBC on the social media platform influence positively on consumer-brand engagement, user-brand relationship, consumer-brand trust, and consumer-brand loyalty which thereby translates positively into consumer's purchasing attitude and intention.
