INTEGRATED BRAND PROMOTION
DOPE NOTES 1 dopenotes.co.za
,The new world of advertising and integrated brand promotion
• IBP (integrated brand promotion) and advertising is going through enormous
change
• Companies are trying to keep up with consumers
• Mass media is not dead but is being supplemented and supported by all sorts
of new ways to reach consumers
• Consumers preferences and new technologies are reshaping the
communication environment
• Lines between information, entertainment, networking, and commercial
messages are blurring
• Companies are turning to branded entertainment, the internet, influencer
marketing
• Advertising, IBP and marketing are becoming more digital, interactive and
social
• Mobile marketing – communicating with target markets through mobile
devices like smartphones
Old media/ new digital media – it’s all about the brand
• New communications options do not change the fundamental challenge and
opportunity – communicating effectively about the brand and it’s values
• A brand that does not meet our needs will not succeed no matter how much
advertising or the form of advertising – we know what we like and what we
want
• Consumers are drawn to brands to fulfil needs and desires and also for the
social symbolism that brand represents
• Analysts are adamant about the process of maintaining a contemporary
market driven image and identity for a brand, and advertising and promotion
are essential to the effort
• This is particularly true with established brands that become well known to
consumers. If the firm does not regularly invest in carefully crafted advertising
and IBP programs, a brand can “drift into oblivion”
