  • Brands in Bad Company Is Every Consumer Favourable for the Brand? Master Thesis
    Brands in Bad Company Is every consumer favourable for the brand? Master Thesis Course: Degree Project in International Marketing and Brand Management (BUSM08) Supervisor: Annette Cerne Authors: Franziska Kittl – Maria Victoria Pazo Hand-in : 26th May 2011 Word Count: 30.756 0 Abstract Springing from the relatively new co-creation paradigm, this article is based on the fact that consumers have a significant influence on the brand building process. However consumers cannot be understood as a sound and compact group of buyers with homogeneous values. Instead various societal developments, and in particular the emergence of consumer tribes, support the existence of a multiplicity of consumer groups. Furthermore each of those groups is trying to appropriate the brand and to impose their own values and meanings on it. This is particularly true for social identity brands, like fashion labels, which are carrying strong cultural and identity meanings as well as symbolic power. Therefore consumer segments, which are not specifically targeted by the company, present marketers with a tricky challenge. Consequently this paper is structured around one specific research question: Is every customer favourable for the brand? In order to answer this question an extensive case study will be built around the experience of Stone Island, an Italian high-end fashion brand, which unintentionally became the symbol of the hooligan culture in the early 1990s. After an in-depth analysis of the case, the authors reveal that there are consumer segments that are inherently unfavourable for brands. However, the nuances of the topic make the reasoning path just as important as the answer itself.
