Discussant:

There is an emerging scholarly literature that is ensconced in the idea that framing and classification matter. During this workshop, we hope to initiate a lively discussion between practitioners and academics about how theory can inform practice - and vice versa: What is the importance of framing and categories for branding and marketing campaigns? How do framing and meaning-making feature in creating cultural movements? How do marketing agencies frame themselves vis-à-vis their competitors?

  

We explore these issues with executives from StrawberryFrog, one of the leading marketing agencies headquartered in New York.
