Trosolwyg
My research focuses on the social and cultural aspects of marketing. Using ethnographic approaches, I am specifically interested in areas of experiential consumption, multisensory consumption and the body. In January 2016 I joined Cardiff University as a Lecturer in Marketing and Strategy. For the period 2014-2016 I was an Assistant Visiting Professor in Marketing at the University of Arizona. I completed my PhD at UNSW in Sydney Australia and prior to that my BSc in Business Administration at the University of Bath. My professional experience includes: Industry Analyst for Google (London), Ethnographic Researcher for Ogilvy (Sydney), Sales and Marketing for Toyota (Bath) and Junior Publicist of luxury consumer goods for Mission Media (London).

Adborth Myfyrwyr
Rwyf mor ddiolchgar fy mod wedi gallu cymryd rhan mewn Marchnata Diwylliannol gan mai dyma oedd fy hoff fodiwl yn ystod fy nhair blynedd gyfan yn y brifysgol. Roeddwn i'n teimlo fy mod i'n cymryd rhan ym mhob un o'ch darlithoedd ac roedd hi mor braf cael darlithydd sy'n wirioneddol poeni am yr hyn maen nhw'n ei ddysgu. Os nad ydych eisoes (ymddiheuriadau am fy anwybodaeth) dylech ryddhau podlediadau ar y deunydd hwn gan fod yr hyn sydd gennych i'w ddweud yn ennyn diddordeb ac yn ysgogi'r meddwl, ac mae gennych lais braf i weddu iddo (Myfyriwr israddedig Marchnata Diwylliannol, Chwefror 2019)
Roedd y podlediadau yn ddiddorol iawn, nid wyf wedi cael darlithydd o ddifrif yn eu hyrwyddo o'r blaen ac maen nhw'n ffordd llawer mwy cyfleus o ddysgu (Myfyriwr israddedig Marchnata Diwylliannol, Chwefror 2019)
Mae mor galonogol gwybod faint rydych chi'n poeni am eich myfyrwyr (Myfyriwr Israddedig Marchnata Diwylliannol, Hydref 2020)
Hoffwn ddiolch hefyd i chi am y profiad dysgu anhygoel drwy gydol y modiwl hwn. Roeddwn wrth fy modd â strwythur y cwrs a'r ffordd y gwnaethoch chi ef y modiwl mwyaf diddorol a chraff o ran cymhwyso bywyd go iawn - yn enwedig trwy'r vlogs. Roeddwn i wir wedi mwynhau'r pwnc a byddwn yn bendant yn ystyried cofrestru academaidd pellach yn y maes pwnc hwn (Myfyriwr israddedig Marchnata Diwylliannol, Ionawr 2021)
Dim ond eisiau dweud diolch am yr awr gyswllt heddiw. Rwy'n dod o hyd i'r rhain yn hynod ddiddorol ac yn ddefnyddiol ... felly rwy'n gwerthfawrogi'n fawr yr ymdrechion (Myfyriwr israddedig Marchnata Diwylliannol, Ionawr 2021)
Rwyf wedi gweld y term hwn yn arbennig o heriol er ei fod i gyd ar-lein, gan fy mod yn siŵr bod llawer o fyfyrwyr eraill wedi, ond rwyf wedi gwerthfawrogi'n fawr eich cynnwys a'ch anogaeth ddeniadol (Myfyriwr israddedig Marchnata Diwylliannol, Ionawr 2021)
Diolch am yr ymdrech a roesoch i arwain y modiwl. Fe wnes i fwynhau pob agwedd ohono yn fawr iawn ac rwy'n falch bod hyn wedi'i adlewyrchu yn fy ngradd arholiad! (Myfyriwr israddedig Marchnata Diwylliannol, Ionawr 2021)
