Under the contemporary business conditions of hyper-competition, incessant change and pressure for growth and profitability, better management of marketing budgets has become an imperative for companies. In addition, properly monitoring and measuring marketing and brand communication strategies and tactics has become a critical factor for success across the geographic and typological organisational spectrum. This book explores how appropriately applied management initiatives on marketing and brand communications, through defined and measured consumer-centred processes, can be more successful and provide significant marketing return on investment (ROI). Moreover, the notions, methods and approaches described here ultimately constitute the tools of developing, measuring and improving strategy design and implementation. In addition, they are linked to a number of wider business goals, such as increased customer basis, stronger customer relationships, cost control, increased consumer loyalty, and brand building. In this vein, the book proposes various means of generating greater returns from marketing and brand investments, maximising both their efficiency and effectiveness. This, in turn, allows for greater financial resources to be reinvested towards consumer and employee satisfaction, strengthening the stability and viability of the company.

A new addition to the Palgrave Studies in Communication for Social Change series, this book sets the stage for subsequent books by identifying and analysing the current gaps in the field. It critically reviews the theory, practice and strategies of Communication for Social Change in relation to occurring structures, policies and discourses.

Integrated Marketing Communications is one of the hottest ideas in marketing today - and for good reason. Marketers today no longer feel limited to traditional ways of doing things. More and more marketers, both large and small, are realizing there is a wide range of ways to reach potential customers. This means you can better target your marketing communications, leading to more successful marketing programs. If this is true - and it is - then why do we hear so much about IMC not working? The reason is simple. IMC is much more than simply discussing new ways of communicating or using traditional means in new ways. IMC is a way of planning overall marketing communications strategy by first looking to your customers and asking what is the best way of reaching them. That is why Strategies for Implementing Integrated Marketing Communications was written. In 10 comprehensive but concise and easy-to-read chapters the author outlines approaches for developing the most effective IMC strategies and then tailoring the tactics needed to implement them effectively. With 224 pages of easy-to-use, practical advice and common-sense models and forms for guidance, including detailed cases showing step-by-step how several leading marketers have used this forward-looking approach to develop their own successful programs, Strategies for Implementing Integrated Marketing Communications will be the most powerful tool in your marketing and communications arsenal.

The key to effective integrated marketing communication is planning, and that is what this book is all about. It provides a disciplined, systematic look at what is necessary to the planning and implementation of an effective IMC programme. Throughout, attention is paid to balancing theory with practical application, how to successfully implement theory for effective communication. Step-by-step, knowledge and understanding builds through the book, starting by laying a foundation to provide context, looking at the role of IMC in building brands and strengthening companies. The book then looks at what goes into developing and executing effective messages, and how to ensure that they are consistent and consistently delivered, regardless of media. Everything is then pulled together, providing a detailed, practical overview of the strategic planning process, what goes into it, and how it is implemented. Numerous examples and cases are included, along with ‘desktop’ tools and worksheets for developing and implementing an IMC plan. Thoroughly updated, with special attention throughout to the increasing importance of digital media in marketing communication, new to this edition are: the introduction of a general model of positioning and the important relationship between positioning and brand awareness and brand attitude strategy; a look at the role of the preconscious in message processing; a much expanded look at media and media planning concepts; an expanded and more detailed section on digital media; a section on content marketing.
