**Winner of the TAA 2021 Most Promising New Textbook Award**

"Principles of Marketing for a Digital Age is a wonderful introduction for an aspiring marketer that rightfully places the customers and their needs as the primary focal point for the inception of any marketing strategy."
Textbook and Academic Authors Association (TAA) Judges Panel

Student-led in its design and development, the book incorporates digital marketing as central to what marketers do, and combines quality examples, assessment and online resources to support the teaching and learning of introductory marketing in a digital age. 

The author integrates digital and social media marketing throughout the chapters and through student involvement in the development of it, the text has been made to be approachable and to appeal to students, with infographics, numerous images, and an engaging writing style. It facilitates the “flipped” approach to classroom teaching and is supported by a number of features and activities in every chapter, encouraging students to undertake course reading, class participation and revision. It includes case studies from global companies such as Nutella, Google, L’Oreal, Netflix, Airbnb, BirchBox, Uber, FitBit, Visit California and Coca-Cola. It also takes a social view of marketing, featuring cases tied to the UN’s PRME initiative to aid students in becoming sustainably-minded individuals.  

The book is complemented by online instructor resources, including chapter-specific PowerPoint slides, an instructor manual, flipped classroom activities, as well as open access multiple choice questions (with solutions), videos, case studies, weblinks, a glossary and SAGE journal articles for students.

I wish I had this text book when I started my university education many moons ago – it could have developed my critical thinking earlier in my academic journey. This text will be a must-have for all first year marketing students and a useful guide for staff and students.  Overall, an excellent, first-rate text book for first year university students…this text should be adopted by first year students and kept for all levels of study as a core guide to the key concepts, theories and frameworks within marketing. 

Christopher Pich
Senior Lecturer in Marketing. Nottingham Trent University

Overall, there aren’t any chapters, which are not useful, as the theoretical foundations this text aims to impart are helpful in understanding the essential principles and elements to marketing. In particular, I like the emphasis of ‘marketing within in the digital age’, as it aligns with what students expect to see in a marketing text. 

Ann Torres

The fact that the book is built by the students for the students really makes it a unique and insightful experience [...] staying up to date with practices and trends is the key to tackling digital marketing and with this handy guide to help you can't go wrong!

Monique Gordon, Student

I recommend this book as it is a good way to understand some basic principles of marketing. Its various case studies, schemas and its light colours make it more enjoyable and easier to read.

A good book for the digitally-minded generation. Uses industry examples well to bring to life the theory that underpins the principles of marketing. It is easy to follow and suitable for those engaging with the subject for the first time and for those looking to bring a more modern approach to the field.
