I have documented the issue in my own research, explaining how advertisers justify not knowing how their brand budgets are helping fund fake news. Hint: Programmatic advertising creates a black hole that marketers are not keen to open. doi.org/10.1080/0267...

Back in February, the BBC reported how Google and Amazon are placing ads on the most horrible content. Did digital marketers know? Apparently, no. How is it possible? Advertisers give money to AdTech vendors, and in return, they receive a "trust me, bro" graph. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

A while ago, a report by Adalytics demonstrated that Adtech vendors are profiting from child sexual abuse material by placing ads there... brands were not aware. How is it possible that brands did not know they are helping fund this horrible content? Good question. adalytics.io/blog/adtech-...

Your ads are funding this. Dear marketers and advertisers, every time you use your budgets to Google, Meta, TikTok, et al., you do not know and cannot know if your ads are funding this horrific content. It is not just TikTok. See below www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Follow the money "Most brands do not want to be associated with hate speech and bot farms, but they are. It is easy to look the other way in such a technically complicated market, but marketers have a responsibility. Brands become complicit by remaining silent." theconversation.com/disinformati...

I was recently interviewed by Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove on his New Thinking Allowed channel, where we talked about parapsychology and marketing. You can find the episode here. I hope you like it. youtu.be/Wpk8LPwvM04?...

I'm delighted to announce a forthcoming special issue of the Journal of Marketing Management on the theme of Model Selection in Marketing Research. The call for papers is here: www.jmmnews.com/model-select...

Ries and Trout was probably one of the first marketing related books I read in the summer before my MSc. I'm looking forward to watching this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgiW... Laura Ries; Andrew Mitrak

This paper engages with atmospheres and atmospherics. But rather than start with the marketing literature, I come at the topic through Mesmer via psychical research - unpacking the appearance and persistence of psychically related thinking to the present. www.tandfonline.com/eprint/F5FWB...

Marketing presents itself as an off-shoot of economics - applied economics, if you like. The history of the subject is actually quite far removed from this view. It is closely aligned with psychical research, mind-reading, telepathy and phrenology: www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6pn...

Philip Kotler, Giana Eckhardt, Sergio Zyman, V. Kumar, Jagdish Sheth, David Aaker, and many other superstars have been on Andrew Mitrak's excellent podcast. Here's one I cannot watch or listen to, but I am very grateful to have been asked. I hope you enjoy it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6pn...

Its a blue sky start to the morning. Reading and then I'm going to listen to a couple of Ray Monk's lectures. Enjoy your day.

This is a very important topic. Thank you Jennifer Takhar, Anna Schneider-Kamp, and Shona Bettany for giving us the opportunity to work with you! www.tandfonline.com/toc/rjmm20/4...

This is a really handy resource for those teaching marketing or simply interested in the history of the discipline and practice. There's some super heavyweight people involved: marketinghistory.org

Excellent new interview in the Journal of Marketing Management: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/CHG5T...

The Journal of Marketing Management aims to publish important work that deals with topics that demand much greater attention. Here's an excellent example of this stance on menopause and healthcare influencers: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

In a scholarly environment replete with tension, stress, anxiety and precarity, this paper will be useful reading for ECRs and established scholars alike, especially if you are, or want to, pursue or support those following a nonconformist path. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Here are the new aims and objectives for the Journal of Marketing Management: www.jmmnews.com/aims-and-sco...

This is really a paper we should all read (esp. editors, those sitting on hiring committees or involved with tenure and appointment processes):

'A new settlement is desperately needed – one that properly restores a sector that delivers a public good to the public realm. And which enables a sense of professional vocation, for those who work within it, to be renewed.' #AcademicSky #HigherEd www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
