Editorial Reviews

"Consumer marketing is increasingly analytics driven, with data driven insight the core underpinning of many businesses. Consumer Behaviour and Analytics is a concise, inventive, original and accessible text that develops new approaches, concepts and structure to fit the new reality of analytics driven marketing. Linking new possibilities and approaches with existing academic consumer research, and grounded in examples and exhibits, this book is a ground-breaking and informative volume." — Leigh Sparks, Professor of Retail Studies and Deputy Principal, University of Stirling, Scotland

"The effects of Big Data, machine learning and AI to the terrain of marketing and consumer research have been seismic. Smith’s book provides a timely and concise review of this new landscape by demystifying analytics-driven concepts and methods whilst cross-referencing with more traditional fields of consumer knowledge. The book inventively integrates old and new concepts into a framework that will appeal to marketing practitioners and students alike. An absolutely essential read for anyone interested in a well-rounded and balanced understanding of contemporary consumer behaviour and analytics." — Professor Andreas Chatzidakis, Royal Holloway University of London, UK
