Joanne says, ”It isn’t just lawyers (with practising certificates), accountants (with CPA’s) or trades contractors (with QBCC trades licenses) who have a professional standard – marketers have one too in the form of our CPM. The public should always consider whether – 1. The person they are engaging have verified knowledge and competency, 2. Ongoing participation in maintenance of CPM points, and 3. Have professional indemnity insurance in place. Marketing isn’t a ‘game of chance’, it is a game changer – making or breaking a business.”

Ravi Pappu

Welcome to the latest industry recognised Certified Practising Marketer (CPM) to be issued with his certification, Dr Ravi PAPPU! Ravi is a leading academic and researcher, serving as Associate Professor of Marketing at UQ Business School. His current research focuses on modelling consumer decision making. Ravi is keen to understand how consumers relate to brands (e.g. manufacturers, retailers and nonprofits) and how marketing communication (e.g. celebrity endorsement, sponsorship) affects brand value.

They are often providing the initial foundations for future practitioners to understand what marketing is, and many are conducting research that analyses critical challenges and/or cases about events that industry are faced with. It isn’t just lawyers (with practising certificates), accountants (with CPA’s) or trades contractors (with QBCC trades licenses) who have a professional standard – marketers have one too in the form of our CPM.
