What is it that really excites and interests your students? Reading first hand what skills top marketers really look for in graduates? Debating the benefits of using shock and fear appeals in advertising? Discovering how to use social networking sites to successfully market a product? Then take this opportunity to present students with marketing examples and issues from real life situations guaranteed to excite and stimulate. Packed full of case studies from international organizations such as Innocent, Orange, HMV, and Oxfam, students can hear first hand what top marketers actually do and how they tackle the decisions they have to make. Employing a lively writing style, the authors encourage students to explore beyond the classical marketing perspectives and provoke them into thinking critically about how they would approach marketing issues. Links to seminal papers throughout each chapter also present the opportunity to take this learning further, if desired.
