What happens when marketing theory stops treating the consumer as a sealed, sovereign individual? Matthew Higgins and I examine the 'porous consumer', making the boundaries between self, others and environment historically contestable. doi.org/10.1080/1025...

The porosity of the consumer
In this paper, we explore and extend the work of Daniel Pick. Pick articulates the ways in which the political and intellectual atmosphere shapes how we understand human thought. As a case in point...

Harlow Gale usually appears as an early advertising psychologist. His work looks different when we recover his sustained engagement with psychical research, hypnosis and suggestion. This paper examines what later histories made peripheral. doi.org/10.1080/0091...

Telepathy once appeared in debates surrounding early marketing thought. Recovering that history shows how disciplinary accounts establish authority partly by disqualifying former objects of inquiry. Open access: doi.org/10.1177/1470...

Marketing is often narrated as applied economics. This genealogy examines a less familiar set of writings: practical idealism, psychical research and the translation of hypnosis and telepathy into the safer language of 'suggestion'. doi.org/10.1177/1470...

Accounts of atmospherics often begin with Kotler in the 1970s. My recent paper recovers earlier discussions of retail, advertising and designed environments, tracing a much longer and stranger history of commercial atmosphere. doi.org/10.1080/0267...

Back in February, the BBC reported how Google and Amazon are placing ads on the most horrible content. Did digital marketers know? Apparently, no. How is it possible? Advertisers give money to AdTech vendors, and in return, they receive a "trust me, bro" graph. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Your ads are funding this. Dear marketers and advertisers, every time you use your budgets to Google, Meta, TikTok, et al., you do not know and cannot know if your ads are funding this horrific content. It is not just TikTok. See below www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Marketing presents itself as an off-shoot of economics - applied economics, if you like. The history of the subject is actually quite far removed from this view. It is closely aligned with psychical research, mind-reading, telepathy and phrenology: www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6pn...
