The Love Issue of Marketing, for June-July 2016, is out now! We think you’re going to really like it.

The issue is filled with features, interviews, stories and thinking from leading brands and marketers from Australia and around the world.

The Love Issue explores everything from brand love, hiring for passion and loyalty programs to boardroom relationships, diversity in marketing communications and some lovely case studies.
