The Nation Branding website

Nation branding is my field of expertise and I've written dozens of articles and essays on the topic. They have been published at the popular Nation-Branding.info website, of which I am also founder and editor. This website was an immediate global hit when I launched it in 2006 but today it is inactive as I'm currently involved in other projects. Still, it is available and contains much of my work as well as of third-party researchers.

It was a truly pioneering initiative, and other similar websites for other countries began to spring up here and there. Over 15 years later, the need for Greece to manage its brand image is so obvious that it almost hurts.
