Phyllis Macfarlane
Chair, AMSR Contents Committee
Phyllis Macfarlane is a lifelong Market Researcher – lucky enough to have started in the industry when pretty much everything was new and yet to be invented – and has always been fascinated by the evolution and development of the sector.
Having done Maths at University, she always intended to do a History Degree on retirement, but instead got involved in a GfK Verein project to develop market research training in Africa, which led to a current interest (with the ESOMAR Foundation) to promote the use of research to NGO’s, who do not always realise the value of actually talking to the people they are trying to help, which can result in ineffective initiatives and wasted money.
Now, involvement with AMSR is allowing the early interest in history (and the industry) to come to the fore again, as the value of the Archive content is realised. In fact she thinks it might be easier to skip the degree and just do a PhD instead – there is so much excellent material in the archive!
