Methodology: Qualitative ethnographic-hermeneutic research, conducted between April 2012 and January 2013. 20 young were interviewed and four television spots from the top 4 Colombian brands were analyzed. Results: Conception of water as a natural resource, the construction of imagery around bottled water and the rhetorical discourse of watermarks in its advertising communication that feeds, reinforces and recreates these imaginary, thus configuring a characterization of consumers associated with brands.
