Research Proposal 1: Environmental Communication in Fashion: Green Marketing or Greenwashing?
Keywords: fashion marketing, environmental communication, stakeholder approach, consumer attitudes, Gen Z
Fashion industry ranks among most polluting industry in the world, following oil industry. Recently, many fashion brands included sustainability and environmental issues in their communication and actions and this issue is widely reported also in academic literature (Köcksal, Strähle, Müller and Freise, 2017; Yang, Song and Tong, 2017; Garcia-Torres, Rey-Garcia and Albareda-Vivo, 2017; Resta, Gaiardelli, Pinto and Dotti, 2016). Sustainability is a great challenge for improving fashion industry (Jung and Jin, 2014). Some fashion brands are also trying to affect the consumer behavior towards more ethical and environmently-friendly consumption, such as slow-fashion or recycling (Fletcher, 2010; Boström and Micheletti, 2016). But from the standpoint of strategic communication of fashion brands, which derive their success of continuous economic growth – is it merely just to do the talking, or does it really change the behavior of consumers (Norum, 2017; Luchs and Miller, 2017)? What effect does stressing the environmental issues in communication of fashion brands have on the consumers? Can communicating slow fashion really lead towards system change, as proposed by Fletcher in 2010 (Fletcher, 2010), or is it an oxymoron (Clark, 2008)?
It is not only the fashion brands talking about environment, but also stakeholders play an important role in the dialogue between fashion brands and its consumers. Recently, more consumers demand “brands with purpose”, that communicate its social responsibility, includes societal, political or environmental issues (Montgomery, 2019). Our aim is to explore the attitudes towards the fashion consumption with regard to environmental issues among Generation Z consumers – the young generation, which behavior patterns will strongly influence the global environmental development in the future.
Our goal: to set up a cross-national study of Gen Z attitudes towards fashion marketing, or cross-national study of marketing communication of fashion brands, which tackles environmental issues

Reasearch Proposal 2: Marketing Communication and Consumer Attitudes of Heated Tobacco Products and Other New Nicotine Product
Keywords: Heated tobacco products; marketing strategies; public health concern; legitimisation; tobacco initiation, public health
Heated tobacco products (also reffered to as heat-not-burn products) have been developed by the tobacco industry and now are available in more than 30 countries, including Japan, Korea, U.S.A. and EU. There are three products currently available: IQOS by Philip Morris International, Glo by British American Tobacco, and Ploom by Japan Tobacco International. Not all products are available on all markets. World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a statement that tobacco companies use non-traditional marketing and product distribution, including “social marketing techniques involving the development of community activators and brand ambassadors, who promote HTPs through various channels” (WHO, 2018, p. 18). In most recent statement, WHO warned that „the marketing of HTPs is one of the biggest challenges to tobacco control efforts“ (WHO, 2019, p. 53). “Given the marketing strategies of the big tobacco companies, the world-wide market share of nicotine-containing products accounted for by HTPs is likely to grow, increasing the potential for public health concern.“ (Tabuchi, 2019). Our team has contributed to the WHO 2019 report about social media and other new forms of marketing in the Czech Republic and to the WHO policy brief.
Our goal: to set up a cross-national study of marketing communication and consumer perspectives on addictive products, namely “new” nicotine or tobacco products, such as Juul, IQOS, Glo etc.

Research Proposal 3: Influencer Marketing and its Ethical Limits
Keywords: influencer marketing, stealth advertising, covert advertising, ethical codes
Recently, influencer marketing has become a growing and indispensable part of the marketing and advertising budgets. However, based on our previous research, a large part of this advertising is not disclosed by the influencers as advertising (covert advertising). Also, based on our research, children (8- 10 y.o.) can not tell whether the content is advertisement or organic content by the influencer.
Our goal: We are looking for cross-national study on influencer marketing, its ethical limits and forms of disclosure (paid partnership etc.).
