Peter Field
Independent Marketing and Advertising Professional,
Peter Field set up the IPA Effectiveness Awards Databank and he contributed a chapter to The Sage Handbook of Advertising that drew heavily on the data from it. Examining the Databank more closely with Les Binet later in 2007, he co-authored Marketing in the Era of Accountability and in 2013, The Long and the Short of It. In 2008 he co-authored Brand Immortality with Hamish Pringle, which also draws on the same data. In 2010 he authored The Link between Creativity and Effectiveness, which brings together the IPA Databank and the Gunn Report database of creativity to provide the most robust assessment yet of the value of creativity. He updated this two years later. He regularly writes and speaks about marketing effectiveness and the value of creativity. He has been closely involved with a number of the IPA training programmes. In 2006 he was elected an Honorary Fellow of the IPA.
