KELLOGG SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT

Ranked #1 in the nation by US News & World Report, Kellogg Marketing faculty and doctoral students are considered leaders in the discipline due to their research and expertise in topics such as marketing analytics, consumer behavior, advertisement efficacy, and marketing development.

I served as an art director and designer to create stimuli for consumer behavior research studies. I collaborated with doctoral students to develop fictitious brand materials to utilize in Qualtrics surveys. These surveys aimed to explore various topics such as consumer responses to brand apologies, controversial advertising campaigns, and sustainable brands.
