Background to Great Ideas for Teaching Marketing
I first set up the Great Ideas for Teaching Marketing website in 2012, primarily to provide lecturers and teachers with a broad “pick and choose” selection of teaching activities and worksheets. Since that time, I have expanded the site to include well over 400 teaching activities, tools, games, tips, and ideas.
All of these activities has been tried and tested in the classroom, across the almost 2,000 lectures I have conducted teaching marketing on behalf of ten different universities in Australia.

The Great Ideas website is designed as a teaching resource, so that you can add variety, interaction, and student engagement to your marketing and business classes. As you will see when you look around the site, there is a diversity of different types of teaching activities across a broad selection of marketing concepts.
It is ideal for flipped classrooms, as well as appealing to different learning styles and different levels of student cohorts.
I am sure that you will find many helpful teaching activities to use. From my own teaching perspective, I developed many of these activities “to make marketing real” and get students more involved in the decision making and problem solving side of marketing.
Perhaps a good starting point is check my list of Top 10 Tips for Teaching Marketing, or my post on Games and Gamification in Teaching Marketing.
