Professor Andrew Ehrenberg
(1926 - 2010)


August 2010

We are very sad to lose a legendary figure in marketing, market research and the statistics field. Over his life Professor Andrew Ehrenberg’s contribution to the development of marketing science has been enormous. The Ehrenberg-Bass Institute (with colleagues at the Ehrenberg Centre, London SouthBank) will build on his legacy as we continue to develop empirical generalizations in marketing. 

We are sad to lose this great man who was a pioneer in our field, and a dear friend to his colleagues.
