About Gary

Gary Hunter is a Professor of Marketing in the Department of Marketing at Illinois State University’s College of Business. He has served as Interim Chairperson of the department and as Internship Coordinator for marketing programs, including Professional Sales and Advanced Marketing Analytics. Hunter is also a Research Fellow at the Katie School of Insurance. His research centers on consumer behavior and retailing, with investigations into how digital transformations, crowdsourcing, and information overload influence consumers, intermediaries, and sales performance. He examines topics such as consumer empowerment through internet information, loyalty in e-CRM software and e-services, anticipated emotions driving shopping center visits, brand equity in financial services, and value propositions in digitally transformed environments. Hunter has explored peer networking among artisan entrepreneurs, competition from informal firms on new product development, and showrooming effects using service-dominant logic and value co-creation, exemplified in cases involving Best Buy.
