Gender Branding Trends and Consequences for Marketers

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
