Linda Hauns

My name is Linda Hauns, I’m a Digital Marketer based in Queensland, Australia. I’m passionate about social marketing as it has the power to tackle complex social issues and create positive social change. The drivers for behaviour change fascinate me and how research combined with industry knowledge can tailor campaigns for sustained social change.
I believe that sharing insights between social marketing researchers, industry experts and the public is crucial in maximising the value of social marketing to facilitate social progress. Projects on environmental sustainability, climate change, sustainable food consumption and human rights are of special interest to me.
I enjoy writing thought provoking content that challenges the status quo and the chance to stimulate participation and discussion around important topics and aspects of social marketing highly motivates me. I have been involved with several not-for-profit organisations and look forward to completing my own social marketing research project in the future.

My goal of becoming a lawyer ended the first day of my Introduction to Marketing class. That course helped launch a career in marketing that has spanned three decades and shows no sign of ending. During this time, I have applied my marketing skills in entrepreneurial, corporate, political, nonprofit, and academic settings.
In 2011, with the practice of marketing undergoing dramatic changes, I went back to school and earned a Masters in Strategic Public Relations from George Washington University. Since then, I have been using my newfound skills to advance issues and causes I believe in, as an independent practitioner. My primary areas of work are environmental advocacy, gun violence prevention, combatting drug and alcohol addiction, promoting informed, civil debate, and eliminating domestic violence and sexual assault.
I consider myself a strong proponent of the power of social marketing, and believe the keys to unlocking this power are research and behavioral science. Looking at these keys in action and examining the strengths and weaknesses of actual social marketing campaigns will be the focus of my ISMA blog.
In addition to my Masters from GW, I have a MBA in Marketing and Entrepreneurial Studies from The Wharton School. I serve on the Editorial Board of Social Marketing Quarterly, and review three or four manuscripts a year.

Kilian Tscherny is a digital marketing specialist based in Dublin, Ireland. He is currently working in the ad tech space, and has a growing interest in technology, big data, and consumer behavior.
His foray into marketing was kick-started when he undertook an MSc in Marketing at Trinity College Dublin, which ignited his interest in behavioral economics, as well as the science of ‘nudging’ and persuasion. During that time, he was first introduced to the concept of social marketing and his curiosity hasn’t dropped since. Social marketing fascinates him as it lies at the intersection of marketing, policy, and psychology, which makes it a unique but enjoyable challenge to both research and implement.
In his spare time Kilian is an avid mountain biker, and loves to make the most of the beautiful nature on his doorstep in Ireland. You can find out more about him on his personal website.
