Professor Anja Lambrecht’s research focuses on digital marketing, with a particular emphasis on online targeting and advertising as well as promotion and pricing. She has examined how firms can use retargeting to reach out to consumers and how firms can advertise on Twitter to early trend propagators. Her work on digital pricing has examined, among others, freemium pricing for online content sites and mobile apps. Her current work further focuses on how spillovers between different economic actors in digital markets can lead to apparent algorithmic bias.
Professor Lambrecht’s work has been published in leading marketing journals, including the Journal of Marketing Research, Marketing Science and Management Science. In 2014, she received the Paul E. Green Award, in 2016 and 2017 she was a finalist for the INFORMS Society of Marketing Science Long Term Impact Award and in 2018 she received the William F. O’Dell Award. She is an Associate Editor at Marketing Science and the Journal of Marketing and a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Marketing Research.
As part of the COVID-19 Call for Proposals, the Wheeler Institute has awarded funding to Anja’s research on inequalities in disseminating health information through online advertising.
