defining integrated marketing communications

IMC is a strategic approach to the planned management of an organisation’s communications.

IMC requires that organisations coordinate their

various strategies, resources and messages

in order that it engage coherently and meaningfully with target audiences. the main

purpose is to develop relationships with audiences that are of mutual value.

Fill, 2011

Page 3: Introduction to Marketing Communications Lecture 11

defining integrated marketing communications

it is a new way of looking at the whole, where once we saw only parts such as advertising, public relations, sales promotions, purchasing, employee communications and so forth, to look at it the way

the consumer sees it – as a flow of information from indistinguishable sources

De Pelsmaker et.al., 2007

Page 4: Introduction to Marketing Communications Lecture 11

what do we integrate?

simply put, it is about the synergistic use of the marketing

communications tools…

…but we also need to integrate the corporate and marketing

objectives and strategies

the message needs to be consistent

we need to bring in corporate identity and image…

…as well as brand identity and image

Page 5: Introduction to Marketing Communications Lecture 11

combining marketing communications

tools to create synergies…

Integrating the various tools can lead to synergies in a number of ways - here are some examples:The sales team have an easier job if their product or company is well known as a result of sponsorship or advertising

In-store or point-of-sale communications that are consistent with advertising are more effective

A promotional campaign that is supported by advertising is generally more successful

Direct mailing is more effective when prepared by an awareness-increasing advertising campaign and supported by a sales promotion campaign

Public relations, corporate advertising and sponsorship can have synergistic effects on company image-building

Websites will be more frequently visited when announced in mass media advertising

Advertising for a trade show will be more effective if an incentive is to visit the stand is offered

De Pelsmaker et.al., 2007

drivers of integrated communications

the key driver according to Fill (2006) is the shift from

transaction-based marketing to relationship marketing

organisational drivers

market-based drivers

communications-based drivers

media and audience fragmentation, literacy, clutter,

competition, media inflation

technology, consistency, brand triggers

profits, accountability, importance of branding

Page 7: Introduction to Marketing Communications Lecture 11

barriers to integration…opposition/reluctance to change internally

financial issues in relation to structure and frameworks

hierarchies, traditions and management structures

attitudes and structures of suppliers and agencies

perceived complexity

Page 8: Introduction to Marketing Communications Lecture 11

implementing IMC

the most important consideration is that of customer focus

this needs to be recognised organisation-wide and may

require training, support and planning

systems, processes, procedures and structures may need to

be adapted or changed

selecting the right mix…

There’s no real science or magic formula here

Each communications tool has different

abilities, different strengths and weaknesses

The following model is useful when marketers need to

determine which tools or tactics to use…Fill, 2011

As marketers we need to give serious

consideration to…

the degree of control we require

the financial resources available

The level of credibility that each tool bestows

The size and geographic dispersion of the target audience

The communications tasks each tool is best at

satisfying… DRIP
