Learning outcomes

The cornerstones of good marketing communications are target audience, message and media, with integration and interactivity being crucial requirements. The context within which these are set is dynamic and turbolent: consumers live in an information-obsessed, media-saturated world with an incredible choice of brands; the impact of technology has altered the way we see, read and communicate. The need to engage audiences with a compelling message is absolutely critical to successful marketing communications. In this text we examine fully integrated ‘360° campaign planning'. We therefore look closely at:

1. The traditional tools of communications: advertising, public relations, direct marketing, personal selling and promotional activities.

2. The ‘hybrid’communication tools.

3. The new emerging developments which have taken marketing communications beyond the traditional mix of tools and media.

4. Various contexts (such as not for profit and business to business) which provide unique challenges to marketing communications.

5. The rise of consumer-generated content

6. Communication plan
