Dr Nicole Koenig-Lewis is a Professor of Marketing at Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University and an affiliate to CAST (Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations).

Her research evolves around the themes of customer experiences, sustainable consumption and access-based consumption with a special focus on consumer engagement, the role of emotions and consumer attitudes. Her current projects tackle the theoretical debate about drivers and barriers to sustainable consumer behaviours in contexts such as sustainable consumption, environmentally friendly packaging, access-based consumption, and festivals as agents of sustainable behaviour change. She is interested in how consumer attitudes towards sustainable consumption are shaped and how we can influence behaviour aiming to inspire truly sustainable approaches to business.

She was the Principal Investigator for the academic research project about consumer attitudes towards the sharing economy funded by the British Academy/Leverhulme Small Research Grant, “Reducing resource use through shared access to consumer goods – identifying subconscious barriers to nudging behaviour change”, (with Bosangit, C.). She has published in internationally recognised journals, such as Journal of Business Research, European Journal of Marketing, Journal of Environmental Psychology, Tourism Management, Journal of Services Marketing, Journal of Marketing Management and Annals of Tourism Research. Bridging the gap between academia and the business community, Nicole is working closely with a number of external business partners contributing to raise the profile of the University. Her research and external academic engagement consistently informs her teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Nicole has been awarded the status of Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in February 2015 and is also a professional certified member of the Market Research Society.
