Iceland - Place Branding Study Trip

CM5022/CM4091 Place Branding
Explore Iceland’s unique approach to promoting environmental and cultural sustainability. Dip into the Blue Lagoon, scan the night skies for the Northern lights, spelunk an ice cave. Meet local brand managers, place influencers and cultural researchers as we conduct ethnographic and communication field research and study the globalized-market-driven ‘promotional culture’ that is transforming Iceland’s local customs and traditions and challenging the people’s shared sense of place and nation. Come to understand how citizens, tourists, activists and academics ‘commune with nature’ while interrogating the contemporary marketing, branding and ‘public diplomacy’ process of place & destination branding.
