Her first publication on research methods was a chapter on the use of focus groups, in Research Training for Social Scientists, A Handbook for Postgraduate Researchers, published by Sage.

Caroline is a full member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, and the Academy of Marketing, where she set up the Special Interest Group in Sustainability Marketing. Caroline was the founder of the Centre for Research in Marketing and Society, located in the University of Sheffield Management School, where she currently works as senior lecturer.
Panayiota J. Alevizou is a lecturer in marketing in the University of Sheffield and an experienced marketing practitioner.
