Real world examples and case studies are embedded through the text, demonstrating marketing and brand issues and business problems that use and apply data and research, both successfully and unsuccessfully. Chapter introductions, summaries and reflective questions help to engage students with the theory. Market Research and Consumer Insight shows students how to turn market intelligence into data-driven decisions, communications propositions, and campaign plans.
