Sumario:This article discusses, from a decolonial perspective, how marketing knowledge is produced and reproduced in Brazil. It sought to demonstrate the historical aspects that influenced the export of marketing from the United States to Brazil as a product whose function was to disseminate neoliberal ideology in a historical period marked by the dispute for world hegemony: the Cold War. Based on the reflections made, it was possible to conclude that, even after so many decades, marketing has still not detached itself from the ideologies that formed it, and, to this day, the mainstream ignores the political and social issues that influence both its management practice and academia. Some directions for future research are presented, with the aim of decolonizing marketing knowledge. It is hoped that this study can contribute to the emancipation of the field so that knowledge can free itself from the ideological ties produced by the process of epistemic colonization.
