    Abstract: We present several empirical facts about trends in marketing investment in the US. We also present estimates of the private value of brands to firms and aggregate intangible brand capital stocks created by these investments. These investments include the creation and maintenance of a brand name and all its corresponding brand elements (e.g., awareness, reputation, image, etc.), along with the investments in the labor force used to manage and oversee the branding. We then discuss the private benefits to firms from their advertising and the established academic wisdom for the striking magnitude of marketing outlays. Finally, we explore the welfare implications of investments in brand capital.

    Abstract: Within the marketing literature, it is quite common to encounter the word "transgression", suggesting that the concept is relevant for the field. However, there is no consensus around its conceptualization within the field of marketing. Using an integrative literature review (Torraco, 2005, 2016 ; Snyder, 2019), this research aims to understand how transgression has been used in marketing in order to lay the foundations for its conceptualization. We used textometry techniques to analyze our 709-marketing-research-article wide corpus. It enabled us to distinguish transgression from other concepts and to build three taxonomies of transgression. At the end of this study, we propose a research agenda aiming to deepen our understanding of the ways in which transgression can be used in marketing, especially what transgression can highlight about gendered consumption practices that are transgressive of gender norms.
    Abstract: La littérature marketing fait un usage régulier du terme "transgression", ce qui indique l'intérêt du concept pour la discipline. Cependant, on ne peut que constater une absence relative de consensus quant à sa conceptualisation. Par le biais d'une revue de littérature intégrative (Torraco, 2005, 2016 ; Snyder, 2019), cette recherche vise à comprendre comment la transgression a été mobilisée en marketing afin de poser les jalons d'une conceptualisation dans le domaine. Au moyen de techniques relevant de la textométrie appliquées à un corpus de 709 articles de recherche en marketing, nous distinguons la transgression d'autres concepts et proposons trois taxonomies de transgression en marketing. Nous proposons également un agenda de recherche afin d'approfondir notre compréhension de la manière dont le concept de transgression peut être mobilisé en marketing, notamment ce qu'il peut éclairer concernant les pratiques de consommation genrées et transgressives des normes de genre.
