Abstract
In this chapter, we explore how scholars can more critically interrogate the elisions between queerness, branding, and consumer culture. First, we provide a theoretical overview of queerness, drawing upon queer theory and grounding this in prior research within marketing, albeit limited. Then, we conceptually offer the LOOP Framework, a road map for closing the loop in research on the relationship between brands and queerness. The LOOP Framework includes four considerations, which we illustrate through empirical examples.
