About the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute

Based at the University of South Australia, the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute is the world’s largest centre for research into marketing. We are an independent, non-profit, research Institute.

Our team of 60+ marketing scientists are advancing marketing knowledge, busting pseudo-science and marketing myths, and teaching marketers how marketing really works and how brands grow. We help Ehrenberg-Bass Sponsors all over the world to develop and benefit from a culture of evidence-based marketing.

If you don’t understand evidence-based marketing principles, then you are probably spending a lot of money on brand activities that don’t work.

The Ehrenberg-Bass Institute teaches marketers to make smart decisions.
