Advertising Communications And Promotion Management

This edition of this bestselling advertising and promotion management text contains a wealth of radically new material, although it is still based on the highly-regarded Rossiter and Percy framework. It is primarily aimed at students at the MBA level who are taking courses in advertising management or marketing communications, rather than undergraduates taking descriptive courses in advertising. Although much of the coverage is radically new, the text is based upon the highly-regarded Rossiter-Percy framework for advertising communications and promotion management introduced in the first edition in 1987. The new name for the revision reflects the integration of mainstream advertising with corporate communications, direct response advertising, and promotions. A completely new section, Part 5, covers integrated communications strategy. Part 6 on Media Strategy has been expanded to incorporate both traditional advertising media and the new media. A broader perspective has been taken throughout the new edition, with more emphasis on corporate communications and business products and services in addition to the traditional focus on consumer packaged goods.

Now in its second edition, this textbook explores the continuing transformation of advertising, sales promotion, and public relations functions within the marketing discipline. The content focuses on emerging new technologies, as well as established digital and legacy media, as the reader is guided through the process of developing and implementing a comprehensive Integrated Marketing Communication plan for companies, organizations, and brands. Clear, concise, and practical, the book takes the reader through consumer, market, and competitive research; creative conceptualization; market segmentation, identification of a target audience, and brand positioning; as well as strategic decisions involving the timing, placement, and intensity of advertising, sales promotion, public relations, and brand visibility. The new edition emphasizes the importance of social media, website development, search engine optimization, mobile marketing, brand promotion events, and retail store connectivity. Updated to include more digital content with detailed international examples, this new edition adds four new chapters including Integrated Marketing Communication objectives, budgets, and metrics, legacy media planning, business-to-business marketing strategies, and innovative technologies with topics such as artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, synthetic media, virtual reality, and voice marketing.
