Biography:

Elaine joined the National University of Ireland Galway in July 2000, having worked for a number of years in marketing and branding roles in companies such as Siemens Limited, Unilever, SmithKline Beecham and Boots Healthcare. She completed her PhD, titled ‘Service Employee Performance and Brand Building’ at the University of Birmingham, UK.  

Her research is in the area of Branding.  She is particularly interested in brand advocacy and sabotage, and exploring people's (employees' and customers') relationships with brands.  

In ongoing research on internal branding, she has explored the role of the front line employee as brand builder, and identified antecedents to brand sabotage.  She has identified barriers to internal brand building, and explored the influence of leadership and commitment on brand adoption in retail banking.  

In other research, she is investigating the influence of social networks on consumer brand relationships.  She is currently examining the influence of the network structure on consumers' use of self-expressive brands, brand engagement and consumer advocacy (word of mouth, brand acceptance and brand forgiveness).

To date, Elaine has published her research international journals such as the Journal of Marketing Management, the Journal of Business Ethics, the Journal of Services Marketing, the Service Industries Journal and the Journal of Brand Management. She is co-author of ‘Creating Powerful Brands’ (4th Edition) with Professors Leslie de Chernatony and Malcolm McDonald.  She has also presented her work at EMAC, Frontiers in Services, and the Thought Leaders International Conference in Brand Management. Her research is, in part, supported by the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences (IRCHSS) and the NUI Galway Millennium Fund.

Her research in branding led to the development of two taught marketing modules: Brand Management at undergraduate level, and Strategic Brand Management for the MSc Marketing degree. 

Elaine is an Editorial Team member for the special issue of the Journal of Business Research. 

She is the National Representative for EMAC in Ireland (2013 - 2015).  She is also a member of the steering committee for the Thought Leaders International Conference in Brand Management at the Università della Svizzera italiana.  

She is a member of EMAC and a graduate member of the Marketing Institute of Ireland.
