Recommended sources to support lecturers and students for digital marketing courses
If you have bought or have adopted Dave’s books for your courses and lecturing – thank you, I hope you’ve found them helpful and inspiring!
This resource links to my recommendations for lecturers and students resources such as latest books, slides, statistics and videos to support teaching and learning.
Some of these articles are from the Smart Insights blog which gives more detail on the latest developments in digital marketing, digital business and e-commerce that may not yet be available in the books. The updates then feed into future editions of the books.
