In the context of this research key stakeholders will be PG students, marketing academics, employers within the marketing communications industry and the marketing communications professional bodies (for example, the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) and the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR)).
The full study will be answered through exploring:
