In the era of constant disruption, defining gender branding trends and potential consequences for marketers is of essensce.
Join us for this webinar, led by Carlos J. Torelli, a professor of marketing at University of Illinois, as we review some recent trends in gendered branding (or the practice of imbuing brands with symbolic gender meanings), such as gender-inclusive branding (or brand gender bending) and the emphasis on body positivity and inclusivity.
We will also discuss what the research tells us about:
- the psychology of traditional and novel approaches to gendered branding
- which consumers are more likely to respond to traditional and novel approaches
- what the trends might mean for marketers
