    Biography

    Iftakar joined the Marketing and strategy Group at Aston Business School as a lecturer in spring 2016. Iftakar was formally a teaching fellow in the Marketing and Strategy Group in 2015, and prior to that she was a Research Associate at Loughborough University. Her research interests are mainly in the field of Consumer Behaviour; around concepts such as Branding, Customer Relationship Management, and Retail Management and Customer Experiences in service sectors. Managerial relevance is important to Iftakar, and implications of her research help companies make more insightful and impactful strategic decisions.

    Iftakar has presented her research in a number of leading marketing conferences around the world, including Association for Consumer Research, European Association for Education and Research in Commercial Distribution, British Academy of Management and Academy of Marketing. 

    Prior to joining Aston Business School, Iftakar worked on an ESRC funded project at Loughborough University.  The project investigated consumer’s interactive experiences in town centres.  The project involved an impact case study where findings were presented to town centre representatives with immediate implementation of the findings.
