My main interests include branding from a cultural perspective, the interplay between advertising discourse and consumption practices in the cultural construction of masculinity, the marketing and consumption of spirituality, nationalistic ideologies in the marketplace, and ethnographic research methods in marketing and consumer research. This research stream is about industrial buyers information search processes and b2b marketing practices, which I mostly investigated in the context of trade shows and occupational communities. My more recent work, inspired by developments in economic geography that conceive trade shows as temporary industrial clusters, has focused on the role placed by these events in the global knowledge economy. My research is focused on the role played by critics, analysts, the media and other expert sources of information on product diffusion and firm
