LO 12-2 (Summary and Review) Discuss the changing communications landscape and the need for integrated marketing communications

The explosive developments in communications technology and changes in marketer and customer communications strategies have had a dramatic impact on marketing communications. Advertisers are now adding a broad selection of more-specialized and highly targeted media--including digital media--to reach smaller customer segments with more personalized, interactive messages. As they adopt richer but more fragmented media and promotion mixes to reach their diverse markets, they risk creating a communications hodgepodge for consumers. To prevent this, companies are adopting the concept of integrated marketing communications (IMC). Guided by an overall IMC strategy, the company works out the roles that the various promotional tools will play and the extent to which each will be used. It carefully coordinates the promotional activities and the timing of when major campaigns take place.
