The Ehrenberg-Bass Institute for Marketing Science

The Ehrenberg-Bass Institute for Marketing Science is the world’s largest centre for research into marketing. Ehrenberg-Bass is an independent, non-profit research institute based at the University of South Australia in Adelaide.[1] Previously named the Marketing Science Centre, it was elevated to institute status in 2005. It is the first university institute devoted to marketing science[citation needed]. It was renamed after two marketing academics, Professor Andrew Ehrenberg and Professor Frank Bass. During their careers, both Ehrenberg and Bass have championed the development of simple generalised laws that can be described mathematically and can be widely applied.

Wharton Business School Collaboration edit

The Institute Director Professor Byron Sharp co-hosted an advertising conference with Professor Yoram (Jerry) Wind from The Wharton School in the US in December 2008. The conference explored the 'digital revolution' within advertising and how advertising may work in the future.[11] The event was attended by over 100 senior advertising professionals, and led to a special edition of the Journal of Advertising Research which was released in June 2009.[12] The Institute is collaborating with The Wharton School's 'Future of Advertising' project and the Advertising Research Foundation in 2012 for a follow-up to the 2008 conference which will feature research on multi-media orchestrated advertising.[13]
