Professor Robert East, from the Department of Strategy, Marketing and Entrepreneurship at Kingston Business School, has been awarded a Fellowship of the Australia and New Zealand Academy of Marketing (ANZMA). This is the first time the honour has ever been awarded to an academic outside of Australasia.

The Fellowship was awarded mainly in recognition of his contribution made to research, including numerous publications, and continued work with colleagues in both New Zealand and Australia.

Professor East (pictured right receiving his award), is also an adjunct professor at the University of South Australia, Adelaide.
