Meet the Squad

MKTGsquad is a network of marketing professors who are passionate about exploring emerging marketing phenomena. As experts in our fields, we guide today’s and tomorrow’s business leaders through analysis and case studies that are grounded in academic research.

For us, being an academic doesn’t mean sitting around in an ivory tower. It means wielding a sword forged out of valerian steel. Our yearning for new knowledge and a better understanding of consumers leads us to speak to marketing managers and customers in our research, to carefully observe and discuss the latest marketing trends, and to groom the next generation of business leaders in our MBA and undergraduate courses.
