The Department of Advertising & Public Relations at the University of Georgia is pleased to welcome Dr. Marc Weinberger as he returns as an in-residence visiting research scholar. “I have returned each year since spring of 2012, because of the welcoming and talented faculty as well as the departments national reputation for excellence,” said Weinberger.  Weinberger comes from the Department of Marketing at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, where he served as Professor and Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs and Research in the Isenberg School of Management. Among numerous articles and presentations, Weinberger coauthored Humor in Advertising: A Comprehensive Analysis (2006), a definitive source on the topic.

While at Grady, Weinberger continues to work on humor-appeal projects and he has a major big data project underway examining the relative marketplace effects of advertising, PR, social activity and promotional on customer sales, profitability and corporate brand value.
