The role of marketing research and its ability to quantify the behaviour of consumers provides valuable insights to both academics and practitioners which enable the identification of appropriate approaches and marketing strategies. The behaviour of consumers is influenced simultaneously by a combination of both micro and macro factors. Modelling techniques allow marketing academics and practitioners to consider these factors simultaneously and assess their impact individually. As such, modelling is increasingly being recognised as a powerful tool within marketing in general and within brand analyses and design in particular.
This colloquium will examine current issues on the theme of “Modelling in Brand Management: Ideas, Issues and Implementation to ‘creatively and robustly’ explore and analyse the conceptual antecedents and theoretical underpinnings of branding so as to derive useful consequences in terms of practical implementation and applications. The focus of this colloquium is to explore the role, importance and application of modelling within a branding context.
The event is co-hosted by Brunel University, UK and University of Canterbury, New Zealand and will feature studies conducted by researchers and practitioners engaged in theoretical or empirical research within the sphere of modelling in branding. More specifically, this colloquium is aimed at soliciting papers on the following suggested areas of interest:
- Brand Strategy
