Brian Sternthal

Brian Sternthal became Professor Emeritus of Marketing in 2018. He graduated from the Ohio State University and joined the Department of Marketing in 1972, where he held the Mondelez International Professorship in Marketing. His research focuses on understanding how people process the information presented in persuasive messages, and the consequences of this processing for brand judgments. He applies this understanding to the development of effective advertising strategies. He also investigates the strategies consumers use to self-regulate their behavior and how they might modify these strategies to enhance the attainment of their goals. His methodological interest centers on designing rigorous experiments to represent theory in data and using data in advancing theory. Professor Sternthal has published widely in marketing journals, is past editor of the Journal of Consumer Research, and a Fellow of the Association for Consumer Research.

Alice M. Tybout became Professor Emeritus of Marketing in 2019. She completed her PhD in Marketing at Northwestern and joined the department as a faculty member in 1975. At the time of retirement she was the Harold T. Martin Professor of Marketing. Her research focuses on how individuals process, organize, and utilize information to make judgments and choices.

She also has written on methodological and philosophical issues related to experimental design and research progress with her Kellogg colleagues. Professor Tybout has published in a wide range of scholarly journals, and has co-edited four books related to marketing and branding. She is a past president and a Fellow of the Association for Consumer Research.
