Platform Ambitions of Brands
The platform economy is gaining increasing importance. Digital platforms can be found in more and more areas of consumers' daily lives. One area particularly affected by this is online shopping, which is becoming increasingly popular. Large online retailers have achieved monopolistic positions, and the majority of online shopping takes place on their marketplaces. This presents significant challenges for manufacturer brands. Recently, some of them have started operating their own platforms to counteract the risks within the platform economy, the so-called Brand Flagship Platforms. This book not only presents the development of the first empirical measurement scale for assessing the benefit dimensions of these Brand Flagship Platforms but also takes it a step further by analyzing the behavioral impact of these platforms on consumers' attachment to the respective brands and, ultimately, on their purchasing behavior. This serves both researchers and practitioners in assessing the impact of digital platforms on their own brand.
The Why Behind the Food Buy
In an era of prolonged uncertainty and profound social change, consumer behaviors have become more cautious, shaped by conflicting demands and polarized narratives. This book delves into the sociological and cultural dimensions that influence consumers' often contradictory attitudes toward food, offering a perspective that extends beyond mere marketing. The book explores current foods capes by examining why and how consumer patterns and values related to food evolve during periods of transition. It particularly addresses the growing concerns for both the environment and security and their paradoxical polarization, driven by fears amplified by marketers and policies, in a climate of escalating tension between agency and control. Key social theories are revisited to understand the dilemmas surrounding sustainable food choices, including a focus on the ambivalent impact of digital food activism on taste and identity, amid the proliferation of elusive consumer patterns on one hand, and increasing efforts to foster new social ties and consensual consumer behaviors on the other. The result is a comprehensive analysis of the tension between the urgent need for an ecological shift in food consumption and the resistance fueled by escalating social tensions and widespread fears in a world in crisis.

The soft drinks market is one of the most competitive in Cameroon's food industry. Long a duopoly between Boissons du Cameroun and Union des Brasseries du Cameroun, the sector has been expanding over the past decade with the arrival of new players, which means a wide variety of flavors and significant marketing investment.

The aim of this research was to identify the consequences of the absence of disruptive and innovative approaches for a brand like Sp矇cial Drinks in such a saturated sector.

Diesel
This book aims to unravel the visual meanings conveyed by the adverts for the jeans brand Diesel in its 'Be Stupid' campaign. It analyses the re-signification of stupidity elaborated by these advertisements as a form of imposition of North American culture in Brazil. The campaign proposes a specific identity for contemporary youth, with a strong sensual appeal and Hollywood symbols of how global youth 'should be'. The messages in the ads are analysed from the point of view of theories of consumer culture, fashion, youth and the body in the media. Comparing young Brazilians with young Americans, it was possible to see distinctions between them: despite being globalised, youth was constructed according to the canons and history of their own country of origin. Using semiotics, the research analyses the lifestyle representations that the brand suggests to global consumers still tied to the ideological domination of the United States in the 21st century.
