An accessible, lively, and engaging introduction to marketing

Essentials of Marketing, 8th edition, by Martin and Blythe, employs a practical approach to explain traditional marketing techniques and theories, and offers the most up-to-date critical perspectives on contemporary themes and concepts in marketing. Using current case studies, in-chapter global examples and activities based on real-life issues and contexts, the text provides everything you need as an undergraduate or postgraduate student to excel in your course. It also serves as an essential guide to new marketers setting off on their marketing careers.

This new edition considers contemporary issues and recent global developments, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, ethical concerns, sustainability, augmented reality, digital marketing and social media trends. Critical thinking sections encourage you to think more deeply about marketing issues contained within the text.
