Who writes Marketing Teacher
Hi, I’m Tim Friesner.
I started out working in marketing, sales and customer service. Then I moved into teaching, first in further education and then for around 28 years at universities in the South of England.
Over that time I taught introduction to marketing, marketing planning, digital marketing and marketing strategy. I also taught courses on new technology: websites, social media and, more recently, AI and machine learning.
I am now also a tutor at a UK distance-learning university.
Marketing Teacher is where I write down what works in the classroom: short, clear lessons, each with a diagram, a worked example and a quick quiz.

Lessons, exercises, answers, quizzes, a free newsletter and PowerPoints, all free to use.

A full rebuild
A Lesson Store and an Exercise Store that teachers could drop into their own courses, with some lessons translated into Portuguese.
