The two students are writing an article, which they will soon submit for publication in a special issue of the European Business Review (focused on pioneers in education). The paper introduces Fred Reynolds, a professor at the Terry College of Business, as a pioneer in education and discusses highlights from his career. Fred Reynolds was instrumental in founding the MMR program in 1980 with the help of Roy Stout, an executive at Coca-Cola at the time, and Bud Phillips, the founder of M/A/R/C research. Reynolds also contributed to the academic com- munity by publishing papers in the area of cohort analysis and lifestyle research. He enriched the academic literature by applying social science concepts to the field of marketing research. Fred Reynolds was also a leader in terms of bridging the gap between the academic and business worlds. According to Professor Mel Crask, “Fred was one of a kind. He lived life to the fullest … The little things he did had big meanings.” Fred Reynolds had a vision for the MMR program that included substantial industry involvement.

  • Lifestyle Brands and Peer-To-Peer Communications: Concepts, Contents, and Contexts
    LIFESTYLE BRANDS AND PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATIONS: CONCEPTS, CONTENTS, AND CONTEXTS by CAROLINE GRAHAM AUSTIN (Under the Direction of George M. Zinkhan) ABSTRACT The primary motivation of this dissertation is to identify how trends in lifestyle branding have influenced, and been influenced by, peer-to-peer marketing communications. We strive to discover the implications – for consumers and organizations – of an increasing level of complexity in capitalist marketing systems. In our first study, we present a classification scheme that displays the essential attributes of seven similar types of brands. Synthesizing academic, managerial and popular source materials, we distinguish these related, but different, brand types. Understanding lifestyle brands – what they are, how they are developed, how they are received, why they are effective, what is not a lifestyle brand – is key to understanding contemporary thinking about the relationships between and among consumers, marketers, and culture. Our second study is a classification of consumer-based promotional methods, and provides definitions and rationales for the use of these marketing techniques. Using theoretical concepts related to self-creation in a postmodern marketplace, we construct and present a classification scheme and explain its utility. Our third consists of a case-based study.We develop a theory-in-use of managerial self- brand awareness that we name “strategic empathy.” We also present a conceptual model of lifestyle branding and strategic empathy, as well as propositions for how concepts, contexts, and produsers affect each other and the meaning of lifestyle brands. We highlight which of these propositions are unique to lifestyle brands, and frame questions to guide future research.
