THE MODERN MARKETING LAB

Did you know that your sensitivity to relationships can affect the consumer choices you make?  Did you know that everyday cultural experiences can make you eat more or less food or perform better or worse on math questions?  Did you know that your relationship with consumer products - like Amazon's Echo (a.k.a. Alexa) and Apple's Siri - can fulfill social needs typically fulfilled by engaging with friends and family?

​

If these questions sound interesting to you, then you would probably enjoy Dr. Mourey's research.  The goal of Jim's research agenda is to pursue important questions that both advance marketing/consumer behavior theory and address challenges facing marketing practitioners. 

​

Dr. Mourey's research covers many relevant, exciting topics in marketing including:

​

• Social Influence

• Relationships w/ Products and People

• Culture and Cultural Influence

• Nonconscious Processing and Priming Methodology

Jim's research has been published in leading journals including the Journal of Consumer Research, Psychological Science, and Social Cognition, as well as featured in print, web, radio, and television media outlets including The Atlantic, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, CNBC, The Today Show, NPR, and more.  Dr. Mourey is a member of the Association for Consumer Research, the Society for Consumer Psychology, and the American Marketing Association and reviews for the journals of these respective organizations.  Jim is the creator and director of the Modern Marketing Lab, his think-tank where he addresses his research questions and also produces the podcast Brand New Day and web series Street Walkers, where research and comedy combine on the streets of Chicago.
