DR. DANIELLE COOMBS

About Dr. Coombs: JMC assistant professor Danielle Sarver Coombs teaches advertising, consumer insights and qualitative research methods courses. Dr. Coombs' research interests include sports, branding and fandom, often focusing on Birmingham, England's Aston Villa Football Club. Before joining the JMC faculty in 2007, she was a senior research manager at Insight Research Group (now Insight Strategy Group) in New York City where she worked for clients such as the American Museum of Natural History, MTV Networks, Scripps Networks, Gap Inc., and Payless ShoeSource.

Dr. Coombs has spent considerable time in England over the past five years, both following her beloved AVFC and visiting family and friends. She developed this program based on insights gleaned by students in her Spring 2011 Qualitative Research Methods course that took on the CCI Study Abroad programs as a client. Through this experience, Dr. Coombs hopes to help JMC students craft projects that will open doors professionally, and foster the intellectual curiosity and adventurous spirit needed to become true citizens of the world. If you have any questions about the Global Advertising and Public Relations course, or our journey to London in general, feel free to contact Dr. Coombs at dcoombs (at) kent.edu.
