Applied Marketing, 2nd Edition
By Daniel Padgett and Andrew Loos
Applied Marketing, Second Edition is a comprehensive yet concise modern marketing course that blends solid academic theory with practitioner experience to help students master the core concepts, develop a practical understanding of how to apply marketing principles, and gain perspective on how top marketers operate in today’s business world.
Co-authors Daniel Padgett, an academic, and Andrew Loos, a practitioner, blend solid academic theory and agency-owner experience to offer students an insider’s view of marketing by bridging the gap between marketing principles taught in the classroom and those same principles as applied by business professionals. Taking a student-centric approach by using digital assets to teach students, as well as having students use digital resources for learning, encourages students to develop their critical-thinking skills by applying core concepts to real-world scenarios. To help students apply their learning and develop analytical skills, Applied Marketing devotes an entire introductory-level chapter to marketing metrics (Ch. 13) and integrates innovative, current, and highly engaging cases – including a continuing case on the socially conscious company This Saves Lives.

He also teaches Marketing Strategy courses at the undergraduate and graduate/executive level and has won teaching awards at both levels. Dan is the director of the Harbert College of Business undergraduate summer study abroad programs in Rome and Madrid and co-director for consulting programs.

In addition, he has international experience training marketing and sales managers, particularly in China, having taught executive programs on sales management and marketing strategy for the China Europe International Busi- ness School (CEIBS) in Shanghai and Ghana, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and the Nordic International Management Institute.
Dan’s research also influences his teaching. His research interests include promotion strategy, pricing, services marketing, and international marketing. His research has been published in the Journal of Marketing, Journal of Marketing Research, Journal of Advertising, Journal of Interactive Marketing, Journal of Retailing, Journal of Current Issues and Research in Advertising, Management International Review, Journal of Business Research, Journal of Marketing Education, Marketing Education Review, and Journal of Consumer Marketing, among others. He is on the editorial review boards of Psychology & Marketing and the Journal of Business Research and has also served as a reviewer for textbooks in services marketing, marketing management, and business-to-business marketing.

The family likes to travel, especially internationally when possible, and in a typical year Dan spends between three and four months abroad.
