Dr. Ducoffe’s research has focused on communication effects in advertising and the economics of the advertising agency industry. She has also studied alternative pedagogical methods for more effective student learning in higher education. Her work has been published in the Journal of Public Policy and Marketing, Journal of Advertising, Journal of Promotion Management and Journal of Marketing Education. She consults in both the public relations and marketing research fields, primarily with non-profit organizations.  

She earned a Bachelor of Arts in communication from the University of Michigan, a Master of Arts in advertising from Michigan State University and a Ph.D. in mass media from Michigan State University.

What really impressed me was her willingness to be available for her students. I can’t say enough good things about Professor Ducoffe.

Dr. Ducoffe was an amazing leader and instructor through this journey. I loved that she posted recaps from the prior week as well as intros to each week. It helped to have a better understanding of what was expected and how to better respond to discussion boards, assignments, and our learning. She was extremely helpful and I appreciate the feedback and comments she provided to each assignment as it helped to improve my overall writing and understanding of the course materials.

Professor Ducoffe was instrumental in my personal growth in the IMC program.
