蜜桃传媒

As one of London’s foremost and vibrant University research centres of marketing and corporate brand management, our research active faculty are engaged in cutting-edge  applied scholarship across a broad spectrum of marketing areas. Mindful of the corporate brand tenets of both the 蜜桃传媒, along with Brunel Business School, both of which are inspired by Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s peerless reputation as a pontifex, or bridge-builder, our research seeks to meaningful advance knowledge, learning, and practice.

Therefore, a key requisite of our research philosophy is to advance both marketing theory and marketing and corporate brand management; make a significant societal impact; and inform marketing teaching within the business school vis-a-vis our research-led teaching. Finding a common focus and inspiration in the centuries-old heritage of the collegial English University tradition which emphasises excellence in research, scholarship, knowledge- dissemination and PhD research-training, our faculty have impeccable international credentials.

A vibrant, collegial, and international group of scholars (including both faculty and PhD students) engaged in leading-edge marketing research and scholarship.
