Kevin Mellet

bio 

Kevin Mellet’s work mainly draws on economic sociology and science & technology studies to study market techniques in the digital age:

• the practices, devices and intermediaries contributing to the functioning of the markets (job boards, online consumer reviews);
• the appropriation of marketing codes and techniques by workers on the fringes of "modern" commercial logic (Youtubers, platform workers, informal entrepreneurs in sub-Saharan Africa);
• the knowledge, instruments, and practices of marketing (social media marketing, online advertising).

Kevin’s current research focuses on the emerging data marketing landscape and the formation and regulation of the personal data economy.
