Jill Brown

Role: Principal Lecturer and Director of Studies Postgraduate Marketing Programmes
Research and subject interest: services marketing and marketingcommunications

My background is in corporate banking and this was where I developed my marketing skills and gained my professional qualifications, but I soon realised that I enjoyed marketing more than banking and so moving to Portsmouth Business School was a very positive change for me.

I particularly enjoy the challenges of teaching about marketing in the service sector – it is highly problematic because services are intangible, invisible and subject to the vagaries of the people delivering them.

I am responsible for the postgraduate marketing programmes at Portsmouth Business School and we welcome students from all over the world. I love the fact that many of them come because of a personal recommendation.

Lillian Clark

Role: Programme Manager MA Marketing (Digital Media)
Research and subject interest: online consumer behaviour, ecommerce, human-computing interaction

The internet is changing all aspects of our lives: how we shop, how we inform ourselves, how we entertain ourselves and how we engage with families, friends and communities. Consumers now have power and information undreamed of 20 or even ten years earlier and are taking control of all aspects of their media experiences. Marketing is transforming dramatically as a result and we're only just beginning to see the impact of all this change.

As someone who spent many years in both technology and business, I am also excited at seeing the world of the marketer and  computer scientist converge into something wondrous and new, and if that also excites you then this is the place to be!
