Synopsis of the Masterclass
Marketing is a divisive subject for many people. This talk looks at what good marketing does for consumers, employees, companies, cultures and countries and sets this against the bad activities which marketing can cause or create to produce a balanced argument about the value of marketing and why we should study it.
Prof. Mitchell is frequently asked to provide expert comment on marketing issues by the media in the UK and overseas. Here he is commenting for the BBC on the whether brands like Findus can ever recover from the recent horse meat scandals.
