Davide Christian Orazi

Davide Christian Orazi is a consumer researcher who specializes in the psychological and cultural aspects of consumption. His current research agenda focuses on (a) the textual and semiotic determinants of marketing communication effectiveness, and (b) why, how, and to what effect people escape their daily lives through consumption.

Davide's research has been published in leading marketing and management journals including Journal of Consumer Research, Administrative Science Quarterly, International Journal of Research in Marketing, Journal of Business Ethics, and Journal of Business Research, and appears in outlets Business Insider, Forbes, Harvard Business Review, The Age, and The Guardian.

In his increasingly eroded free time, he keeps alive a glorious nerdy past made of Dungeons & Dragons, Magic the Gathering, live-action role-playing, and writes about it.
