Ongoing projects include a book on graphic design and the LP record, and an edited book on August Strindberg and Visual Culture. He is editor in chief of the interdisciplinary journal Consumption Markets & Culture, and serves on the editorial boards of the journals Advertising and Society Review, Critical Studies in Fashion and Beauty, European Journal of Marketing, International Journal of Indian Culture and Business Management, Journal of Business Research, Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of Historical Research in Marketing, Journal of Macromarketing, Marketing Theory and Visual Methodologies.
