CHAPTER 1
INTEGRATED MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
Chapter Overview
This opening chapter provides the student with an overview of advertising and promotion. The first
section summarizes the content of promotional messages as it reviews how marketing communication is
used to convey the marketing mix. The elements of the promotional mix are introduced and a brief
overview of the kinds of firms involved in promotion is highlighted. This chapter introduces the concept
of integrated marketing communications (IMC) and discusses its evolution, a renewed perspective, and
importance. Most marketers understand the value of strategically integrating the communication functions
rather than having them operate autonomously and so the depth of these topics provide a foundation of
the emerging IMC trend.. A model of the IMC planning process is examined that gives direction for the
content of a promotional plan. Finally, we describe the perspective and organization of the text that is
consistent with the planning process.
Learning Objectives
1. Describe the importance of marketing communication within the marketing mix.
2. Identify the tools of the promotional mix - advertising, sales promotion, public relations, direct
marketing, Internet marketing, and personal selling – and summarize their purpose.
3. Illustrate the concept of integrated marketing communications (IMC) by considering its evolution,
renewed perspective, and importance.
4. Explain the IMC planning process and express the steps in developing a marketing
communications program.
5. Identify how the IMC planning process is continued throughout all chapters.
Chapter and Lecture Outline
I. MARKETING COMMUNICATION
Most students may already have had a marketing course; however, it is still helpful to define marketing
and stress that it involves more than just selling or other promotion functions. Previously, the American
Marketing Association defined marketing as:
the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution
of ideas, goods, and services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational
objectives.
The description of marketing should include a discussion of the activities involved in the marketing
process and its role and importance in different types of companies including both profit and nonprofit
organizations. It is important to stress that each element of the marketing mix is multidimensional in
nature and includes a number of decision areas. This reminder leads the way to defining the text’s scope.
In discussing the marketing mix, it should be highlighted that marketing communication is responsible for

A Communicating Product—an organization exists because it has a product, service, idea or cause
to offer. Discussion can focus on the value offered by the product and the fact that goods and
services offer attributes and benefits that satisfy needs. Benefits are communicated as functional
based on their features or attributes. They are also subjectively claimed in ads based on
performance. An d they are communicated emotionally through product consumption. These
emotional are positive or negatively based, and psychologically or socially based. Instructors can
show ads that demonstrate these differences since they are the heart of message development and
delivery since promotional planners have complete control in deciding which approach to
influence consumers.
Communication for brand identification is important with respect to brand name, brand logo,
band tag-line and packaging. As the text exhibits illustrate, ads often identify the brand
characteristics clearly to encourage recognition at the point of purchase where decision are made.
Communicating all facets of the product is expected to contribute to brand equity; an intangible
asset of added value or goodwill that results from the favorable image, impressions of
differentiation, and/or the strength of consumer attachment to a company name, brand name, or
trademark. A discussion of the overall assessment of brand can ensue with reference to the data in
the brand exhibits. Other brand outcomes are identified and instructors can draw on new ideas to
see if advertisers are attempting to foster different brand related impressions upon consumers.
B Communicating Price —the price variable of the marketing mix refers to what the consumer
must give up in exchange for a product or service. Marketing managers must be concerned with
establishing a price level, developing pricing policies and monitoring consumers’ and
competitors’ reactions to price in the marketplace. From a marketing communication standpoint,
price is often a key piece of information in an ad or is the main selling message.
C Communicating Distribution—marketing channels or the place element of the marketing mix
refers to the set of interdependent organizations involved in the process of making a product or
service available to customers. In discussing the latter, the importance of resellers in marketing
and promotional strategy should be introduced. Attention should be given to the need to develop
promotional programs for the trade or resellers to encourage them to stock and promote a product.
D Communicating Value—all marketing activities and marketing communication are designed to
enhance and or communicate customer value as conveyed in the new AMA definition. This
chapter drawas on both definitions for historical significance and to highlight that marketing
communication plays a role in persuading consumers that a brand offers value through the
compilation of all aspect of the offering.
II. THE PROMOTIONAL MIX
Promotion is defined as the coordination of all seller-initiated efforts to set up channels of information
and persuasion to sell goods and services or promote an idea. It should be noted that promotion is best
viewed as the communication function of marketing as most of an organization’s communication with the
marketplace takes place through a carefully planned and controlled promotional program that utilizes
elements of the promotional mix.
The promotional mix should be defined as the tools or elements that are used to accomplish an
organization’s objectives. The role and function of each promotional mix element in the marketing
program can be discussed along with its advantages and disadvantages.
