Linden Dalecki serves as Associate Professor of Marketing at Pittsburg State University's College of Business. Holding a Ph.D. and M.A. from the University of Texas at Austin and a B.A. from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, he transitioned to academia after careers as an advertising copywriter in Washington D.C. and Hong Kong and as a naming consultant for Interbrand.
His academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. and M.A., University of Texas at Austin
- B.A., University of Wisconsin at Madison
Dr. Dalecki's research spans Advertising Management, Integrated Marketing Communications, International Marketing, Diffusion of Innovations, and Entertainment Marketing with specialized focus on entrepreneurial marketing contexts, sustainable branding (notably the Ecotton project), and cultural phenomena like breakdance and Hollywood media synergy. His work frequently examines authenticity in place branding and psychosocial dimensions of consumer behavior.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2024-2006) reveals consistent thematic threads: entrepreneurial applications in marketing education, sustainable ingredient branding, and Hollywood's business-model innovations. His scholarship uniquely bridges academic rigor with creative practice, particularly in entertainment marketing where his film research directly informs screenwriting collaborations.

Dr. Dalecki actively integrates creative practice with scholarship through current screenwriting projects 'Crimeland' and 'Machete' developed with Ethan Maniquis for Robert Rodriguez. His documentary work 'Breakin' Away' (Cannes Short Film Corner) evolved into 'Inside the Circle' (2008), demonstrating his applied approach to cultural marketing research.
