I’d like to take this moment to thank the East Coast Roadshow Official Tour Sp0nsor, The College of Business and Economics at The Australian National University.

The East Coast Roadshow is brought to you courtesy of an Outreach Grant which enables staff from the ANU to do amazing, interesting and high profile activities such as travel through Australia for six weeks whilst raising the profile of our particular research causes.  The College of Business and Economics has also released me from my teaching duties for a research semester for the second half of 2009, which is freeing me up to travel around Australia, talk to social marketers, and develop the Social Marketing Benchmark Report.

Thanks again to the College and to ANU.  As a professional marketer, and marketing academic, it’s always nice to give a shout out to the official sponsors.
