Personal profile

Research

I am part of the Marketing group at the Department of Business Administration. My current research involves the areas of sonic branding, consumer research, and cultural branding. I have published in Business Ethics: A European Review, Journal of Brand Management, and Advances in Consumer Research. Ongoing projects include papers on sonic branding, brand trust, and frugal consumption. My research interests are mainly in the area of Consumer Culture. Specifically, my doctoral thesis dealt with the topic of Brand Trust, from a combined company and consumer perspective. There, I developed a theory of brand trust as asymmetrical, in the sense that one party risks becoming vulnerable in the trust relationship.
