About

Overview

I am a Professor of Marketing at Bayes Business School and an expert in brand strategy. My research explores social conflicts that originate from consumers' struggling with ecological consumption, diversity, and immigration. Based on my findings, I develop recommendations on how brand leaders can address such consumer conflicts while also building brand value.

My research has been published in the Journal of Consumer Research, Psychology & Marketing, Long Range Planning, Consumption Markets & Culture, the Journal of Macromarketing, Marketing JRM, Journal of Business Research, and the Journal of Consumer Policy. Some of these publications have been discussed in international new media, including the NY Times, Huffington Post, the Conversation, and Wired.

As a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy I teach core marketing subjects such as brand management, communication, cultural innovation, and interpretive research methods.

As a brand strategy expert, I advise start-up as well as grown-up companies in the UK, Germany, and Austria in matters of branding strategy and growth.

I am married to Dr Elisabeth Pichler-Luedicke, a brilliant brand strategist and founder of &identity, and raising our two children with her.

If you seek advise regarding consumer culture and brand strategy, are looking for a speaker for your event, or would like to pursue a PhD under my supervision, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Research

Dr. Luedicke's research is concerned with exploring different kinds of social conflict that are either caused by other peoples' consumption behaviors, or articulated through their behaviors. His work has contributed, for example, to a better understanding of conflicts that emerge from (a)moral consumption behaviors, but also from indigenous consumers' interpretations of immigrant consumption practices.

One study shows, for example, how American Hummer owners implicitly draw on the powerful ideology of "American Exceptionalism" to claim the moral high ground for their extra-large and gas-thirsty SUVs (against passionate, anti-Hummer campaigns). In this study, Hummer consumption itself is the stone of contention (i.e., dangerous, polluting cars), but reflects larger cultural values. For activists to reduce Hummer consumption therefore requires framing this consumption practice as a violation of American national identity, not environmental morals.

Research topics

Consumer Acculturation

Dr. Luedicke's research in this area tries to contribute a better understanding of how consumption contributes to conflicts in contexts of immigration and acculturation. In times of anti-immigrant backlash, right-wing political successes in the UK, PEGIDA demonstrations in Germany, and the brutal Charly Hebdo murders in France, such research tries to shed some analytical light on cultural tensions from a consumption perspective.

Consumer Conflict

One key theme that runs across all Dr. Luedicke's consumer culture studies is social conflict. For marketing practice, academic helps to better understand how to sell more good, create awareness for social causes, or engage people. For society, however, research is also important for garnering a better understanding of why consumption causes trouble.
