He is co-founder of the Brand Meaning Network (link: http://www.cbs.dk/en/research/departments-and-centres/department-of-marketing/research-clusters/brand-meaning-bmrc/network), which brings together top international scholars in the area of brand meaning co-creation. He studies how both for-profit and not-for-profit organisations manage their brand in the context of their brand eco-systems.  His most recent research looks at brand identity co-creation and issues around the implementation of branding strategies at a managerial level. Additionally, he works closely with new ventures in both his research and through multiple workshop formats to help start-ups build their brand.  He achieves consistently high evaluations in his teaching at undergraduate, gradate and executive levels.
