Online Webinar

The goal of a story is to transport the viewer or reader into a world that the author aimed to create. However, new research by Hope Schau, Eller Professor of Marketing at the Eller College of Management, shows that story experiences vary from person to person - which means control of the story may no longer lie with the creator.

Join us for this virtual event, led by Eller College of Management’s Hope Schau PhD, as she details how media and the tools control narrative delivery when they are no longer managed by a single voice.

She will also touch upon how a cultural practice like surfing, and the evolution of surfing, depends on how deeply it is rooted into the social fabric of everyday life.

Participants will leave this webinar recognizing

why consumer preferences are important

that consumers are now in more control than ever of the media they are consuming

how surfing leads to providing a robust lens to study practice diffusion
