Light in the Darkness: Marketing’s Role in Driving Positive Change

The unique challenges of the last two years, including the global pandemic, heightened awareness of racial and social inequity, and urgency around the climate crisis, have permanently altered the marketing landscape, consumer behaviors, and firm strategies. Beyond reacting to the ongoing changes and challenges, this evolving environment presents a unique opportunity for marketers to actively influence our post-pandemic world. The 2022 AMA Summer Academic Conference will emphasize research that illustrates how marketing can play a leading role in driving positive change and building a sustainable future.

Academic Placement

Based on research done across the academic community to better support the evolving needs related to the Marketing PhD job market, AMA recommends moving the job market from Summer to Fall starting in 2022. We encourage you to read the statement from the AMA Academic Council for details on the research, reasoning, and recommendations, including conducting first-round interviews through video-conferencing.

Virtual-only sessions take place on August 9.
