Media Reviews
Love this book! It's quirky, funny and entertaining - ideal for students new to marketing and I think the students will engage well with it. I like the fact that it isn't too Americanised, so will appeal to the UK students. It is set out well and easy to follow and ties in nicely with the syllabus.--Hilary Bishop
