Ten Biggest Improver

Watching the watchers

Buying ad space- challenging the paradigm
Gary Jaffer - The Independent

They're Watching You
Australian Marketing Magazine (Online) - July 2006
One of the Institute's Research Associates, Peter Hammer, comments on the (lack of) effect that the Big Brother Scandal had on the television show's ratings.

Low Repeat Viewing for TV Programs
UniSA Researcher - July 2006

Customer Loyalty Myths Exposed - Dr Byron Sharp

A five percent drop in defections does not result in an 80 percent-plus increase in profits.

You Can Mute It, But TV Ads Can Still Talk
Written by Camille Alarcon of B&T

Consumers' Beliefs About Brands Are Fickle - Dr Anne Sharp
Published in B&T magazine 19th December 2001
The beliefs and attitudes that customers hold about your brand are unstable. In one survey, some customers may say your brand offers “good customer service”, yet the next time around half of them will give a different response. But you and your market researchers will probably never notice this because overall brand image scores will remain unchanged.

Predicting Your Company's Sales - Dr Erica Riebe
Need to predict how many people will buy your product? Predictive "probability" scales used in market research can ease the nerves of the brand manager.

Faithfully Yours - Dr Byron Sharp
B&T magazine
Big brands simply have more customers, not customers who are more loyal. Competing brands hardly vary in terms of loyalty.

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.




The Ehrenberg-Bass Institute

The Ehrenberg-Bass Institute has over 50 marketing scientists contributing to ground breaking research and analysis.

Our research discovers how buyers behave, brands perform and how marketing really works.

Our findings give meaning and context to marketing research, turning data into insightful and meaningful strategy.

We have experts in the areas of:

Advertising
