Teaching Activities

SUSTAINABLE MARKETING

Designed for graduate students, this course explores the principles and practices of sustainable marketing. It focuses on strategies that balance business success with environmental and societal well-being. Students will study green marketing, corporate social responsibility, and ethical consumerism, learning to create marketing initiatives that drive positive social impact and sustainable growth.

ONLINE ADVERTISING THEORY

This course provides graduate students with detailed and current explorations of key theories in the advertising discipline. The course gives a working knowledge of the primary theoretical advertising approaches, offering a comprehensive synthesis of the vast literature in the area.

ADVERTISING DESIGN AND EYE TRACKING

This course allows graduate students to explore key concepts in eye-tracking research and help them integrate it into their study. The course helps students design advertising and experimental stimuli and test their visual artwork using eye-tracking technology, allowing them to turn eye-tracking data into valuable insights.

QUANTITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS

This course introduces graduate students statistical thinking in managing business problems. The students learn and implement the entire cycle of the marketing research procedure, from translating a management question into research questions to designing an appropriate study with a quantitative approach, analyzing the data, reporting the results, and interpreting them to provide managerial conclusions.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This course introduces and discusses experimental design, data collection, and data analysis methods relating to research in the advertising field. Graduate students consider how to select the appropriate theories, manipulate stimuli, use measurement scales, and analyze results. This course elucidates the requirements for academic work, considering aspects related to language, writing style, and layout.

MASTER'S THESIS SUPERVISION

I am actively involved in Master's thesis supervision as part of my daily responsibilities. Because I teach Research Methodology, Online Advertising Theory, and Eye-tracking Methodogy, students have the keys to coming up with a great Master's thesis!
