Integrated Marketing Communications
(IMC)
• The “voice” of the brand
• A means by which it can establish a dialogue
and build relationships with consumers
• Allow marketers to inform, persuade, provide
incentives, and remind consumers directly or
indirectly
• Can contribute to brand equity by establishing
the brand in memory and linking strong,
favorable, and unique associations to it
6.5
The New Media Environment
• Traditional advertising media such as TV,
radio, magazines, and newspapers seem to be
losing their grip on consumers.
• Marketers pour $18 billion into Internet
advertising in 2005. While Web advertising
jumped 20% during this time, spending for TV
ads remained flat.

Promotion Tools : Advertising
Advertising is any paid form of non-personal
presentation and promotion of ideas, goods,
or services by an identified sponsor through
mass media with the purpose of achieving set
objectives such as creating awareness or
encouraging trial.
Advertising
• A powerful means of creating strong,
favorable, and unique brand associations and
eliciting positive judgments and feelings
• Controversial because its specific effects are
often difficult to quantify and predict
• Nevertheless, a number of studies using very
different approaches have shown the
potential power of advertising on brand sales.

Advertising Brief Format
 Why do we want new brand communication? Launch,
 What consumer understanding or insight drives this brief?
 Who is our target audience?
 What do they think and do now? State of mind or current
behaviour
 What would we like them to think and do in response to the
advertising? Objectives
 What is most likely to achieve this change? (i.e. the
differentiator or unique selling proposition) Could be functional
as well emotional
 Why should they believe it? Supporting evidence
 Practical Considerations : e.g. type of ad, media, duration
Advertising Message
Four elements important:
• The balance : information vrs pleasure
• The structure: conclusion drawing, One or two sided
message, Primary vrs recency
• The source/credibility : company, opinion leader or
former
• The presentation to the target audience: Information
(factual, slice of life, demonstration, comparative
advertising) vrs Emotion & Feeling (fear, humour,
animation, sex, music, fantasy
Brief
Communications Idea
Executional Idea
– Brief
• Distils the point of difference that makes the brand preferred
– Communications Idea
• A creative vehicle which dramatises the point of difference
– Executional Idea
• A single expression of the communications idea which strengthens
its impact to keep the idea fresh
Communication Ideas are vehicles for
the communication message
• They are NOT the message
– Sunlight message was “Good on colours”
– Pepsodent in Chile wanted to communicate
that their toothpaste repaired teeth

Ideal Ad Campaign
The ideal ad campaign would ensure that:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
The right consumer is exposed to the right message at the right place
and at the right time.
The creative strategy for the advertising causes the consumer to notice
and attend to the ad but does not distract from the intended message.
The ad properly reflects the consumer’s level of understanding about
the product and the brand.
The ad correctly positions the brand in terms of desirable and
deliverable points-of-difference and points-of-parity.
The ad motivates consumers to consider purchase of the brand.
The ad creates strong brand associations to all of these stored
communication effects so that they can have an effect when consumers
are considering making a purchase.

audience is reached by each communication
option employed? How much overlap exists
among options?
• Cost: What is the per capita expense?

Key Points
1. It is through marketing communications that brands
build relationships with consumers.
2. Development of an integrated marketing
communications campaign entails “mixing and
matching” options based on their ability to produce a
whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
3. Creating a dialogue with consumers requires thinking
beyond traditional advertising and promotion
strategies.
4. Consistency is the key to creating brand awareness
and strong brand associations.
Tutorials
1.
Pick a brand and gather all its marketing communication materials. How
effectively have they “mixed and matched” marketing communications?
Have they capitalized on the strengths of different media and
compensated for their weaknesses at the same time? How explicitly
have they integrated their communication program?
2.
What do you see as the role of the Internet for building brands? How
would you evaluate a Web site for a major brand, e.g., Nike, Disney, or
Starbucks?
