Overview
I am a Professor of Marketing and Strategy at Cardiff Business School where I teach marketing with a focus on how marketing can contribute positively to society.
I am Cardiff Business Schools Academic Director of Estates, a position which to date has successfully implemented sustainability and circular economy into all of the Business Schools estates development and refurbishment projects. I am Head of Admissions for Cardiff MBA Programmes and a member of Cardiff Business Schools Management Board.
I have published in Journal of Business Research, Marketing Letters, European Journal of Marketing and Journal of Advertising, among others. I have published an edited collection of ethical and social marketing contributions; co-edited a collection of blockchain and cybercurrency research and published a book of small enterprise marketing case studies. I am the long standing Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Strategic Marketing.
My research interests focus on sustainability and the positive contributions marketing can make to society, in particular local communities, social enterprise and sustainable approaches to business.
