My guest this week is Stuart Atkins, Marketing Professor, agency owner and author from California.
We talk about marketing academia and why marketing should be about matchmaking customer needs to offers rather than manipulation and intrusion.
Welcome to episode 242 of the Marketing and Finance Podcast.
What you’ll hear about in this episode:
- The experience of teaching principles of marketing, consumer behaviour and market research
