I am Associate Professor of Marketing at EMLYON Business School, France. My research is on branding, consumer experience and culture, digital media, and creative visual research methods. I’ve published in several book chapters and articles in international journals including Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of Business Research, Journal of Marketing Management, European Journal of Marketing, and Management Decision. I was the recipient of The Sidney J. Levy Awardfor my dissertation research in 2015, and the Judges’ Award for the best consumer research film in 2009, 2011, and 2014 Association for Consumer Research Conference. Also, I co-write insidevideography.com blog on video-based research methods.
I have professional experience in marketing and business development in a leading Finnish FMCG company (Valio Ltd, between 2002-2011). My own company, Paris-Helsinki Ltd., is specialised in management training and consulting. Among other work, I have helped start-up companies such as MottoWasabi (spatial and interior design), Smartcart (just-in-time advertising) and Sailer (customer experience research) as advisory board member.
