I established the Marketing Teaching and Research Group as founding Chair in Marketing at Royal Holloway, in 2004. The group has since grown from three to some twenty full time, permanent faculty, including five Professors. I served as Chair 2004-2010 and again 2018-19 during the SBM reorganisation when the group was re-designated as a Department. We have developed a thriving and highly successful suite of under- and postgraduate marketing courses.
Prior to my appointment at Royal Holloway, I was Senior Lecturer, Head of the Marketing Group and Director of the MSc Marketing at Birmingham Business School, The University of Birmingham. Before then, I held full time academic posts teaching marketing and management subjects at Aston Business School, Oxford Brookes University, and Derby University. I also taught Psychology as an Associate Lecturer for the Open University for a few years.
My research, teaching and supervisory interests include advertising and promotion, marketing, and qualitative research methods. My recent books include Rethinking Advertising as Paratextual Communication, published by Edward Elgar in April 2022: Advertising and Promotion (5th Edition) published by Sage in 2021 (both with Rungpaka Amy Hackley) and Qualitative Research in Marketing and Management (2nd Edition), published by Routledge in 2020.
My PhD from Strathclyde University (AACSB) drew on a discourse analytic method from qualitative psycholgy to explore the management of the creative development process in top advertising agencies. My other qualifications include Marketing (MSc) Business Studies (BA) Social Science (BSc) Psychology (PGDip) and PGCE.
