Before becoming an academic, Ambler spent some 30 years in business, initially as an accountant, switching to marketing, and his knowledge of the two fields enabled him to develop new approaches to marketing effectiveness and accountability.[5]

The Worshipful Society of Marketers published Ambler's reports proposing a framework for Annual report narrative reporting, as a way of involving shareholders in marketing.[14]

The Chartered Institute of Marketing published a report on Marketing Effectiveness to which Ambler was a principal adviser.[15]

The Marketing Science Institute of America published the finding of Ambler's extensive research study of the use of marketing metrics in the UK and Spain.[16] They subsequently published a study of Dashboards and Marketing.[17]

The Australian Marketing Institute published Ambler's guidelines for choosing marketing dashboard metrics.[18]
