Description

This book adopts a unique perspective in critically evaluating new perspectives of marketing that fall within ethical constructs, including EDI (equality, diversity and inclusivity), gendered implications and perspectives, sustainability (people and planet) and intersections with consumer culture. Marketing is often criticised as being commercially focused – profit over people. This book suggest that marketers could and should include consideration for progressive societal discourse and provides examples of how this can be conceptualised within current markets by using contemporary marketing examples and insights from consumer society.

This edited collection of chapters addresses topical events, from the Met Gala to the FIFA World Cup, as well as examining the music, fashion and media industries, to reflect upon the way in which societal ideologies and discourse are evolving. It offers a new, contemporary lens through which marketing can be understood within consumer society.

The book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate business and marketing students; academics seeking to develop the curriculum, lecture content, and assessment design; and marketers/practitioners who want to engage with topical marketing discourse. It provides a glimpse into the future of markets and marketing.
