Biography
My research interests are currently orientated around three main areas: (1) corporate brand communications (2) online brand communities (3) responsible consumption practices. My PhD dissertation explored corporate (charity) brand relationships within a non-profit context. As a ‘fused’ academic, I also assist various types of organisations in solving brand-related issues through the understanding and application of relevant theoretical concepts and frameworks.
Prior to joining academia, I worked for two years within the United Nations where I contributed in raising the online communications profile of the UNDP Country Office (Mauritius). I also spent several years within the advertising/public relations industry holding various positions such as Client Service Executive, Strategic Planner, and Head of Advertising & creative Services.
Current responsibilities
