Abstract
The integration of sustainability within luxury brands is of increasing concern to practitioners and academics alike. Thus, it is important to consider how brands can develop effective communication strategies to promote sustainable luxury brands, particularly among an increasingly skeptical consumer base. This research thus investigates the impact of advertising slogans with negations (vs. affirmations) in this regard. Three experimental studies show that advertising slogans with negations (vs. affirmations) increase brand trustworthiness (Studies 1 and 3) and favorable brand attitudes (Studies 1 and 2) among consumers with high levels of skepticism. Notably, this effect is driven by an increased cognitive flexibility (Study 3). The findings of this research can assist sustainable luxury brand managers in developing effective communication strategies to increase favorable consumer responses to sustainable luxury brands.

The Australasian Marketing Journal (AMJ) is the official journal of the Australian and New Zealand Marketing Academy (ANZMAC). It is an academic journal for the dissemination of leading studies in marketing, for researchers, students, educators, scholars, and practitioners. The objective of the AMJ is to publish articles that enrich and contribute to the advancement of the discipline and the practice of marketing. Therefore, manuscripts accepted for publication will be theoretically sound, offer significant research findings and insights, and suggest meaningful implications and recommendations. Articles reporting original empirical research should include defensible methodology and findings consistent with rigorous academic standards.
