Maciel’s research has appeared in the Journal of Consumer Research and the Journal of Marketing, two top academic journals in the field of marketing. Additionally, he received research funding from the American Marketing Association Consumer Behavior Special Interest Group to study “Safe Spaces: How to Create and Maintain Inclusive Service Environments” in 2020.  

The college honored Maciel with the Emerging Scholar Award in 2019. He also received the 2017 Sidney J. Levy Award for the best dissertation-based paper in the field of consumer culture. In addition, his work won the "Best Special Session" award at the 2016 Consumer Culture Conference Theory Conference in Lille, France. Before his Ph.D., Maciel also wrote the book, An Intuitive Approach to Marketing through Inter-Personal Relationships (original title: A Fila Anda, Mas Não Empurra Que é Pior: Uma Abordagem de Marketing Sobre Relacionamentos Amorosos). 

He earned his bachelor’s degree in business management from Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil in 2003, a master’s degree in marketing from the University of Rennes I in France, and his Ph.D. in business from the University of Arizona in 2015.
