Chethana Achar is currently an Assistant Professor Of Marketing at Northwestern University in the Kellogg School of Management.

KEY TAKEAWAY
“We now, in the last 10- 15 years or so, are seeing this sort of value-angle come up to business, where it's not just about defining the features of your product, it's also about what the product stands for and what the person that's selling the product stands for. I think our society clearly has reached this point where moral beliefs and values that go behind a brand are an important feature of the brand itself.”
