Editor's Notes
The Need for Integrated Marketing Communications
The shift toward a richer mix of media and communication approaches poses a problem for marketers. Consumers today are bombarded by commercial messages from a broad range of sources. But consumers don’t distinguish between message sources the way marketers do. In the consumer’s mind, messages from different media and promotional approaches all become part of a single message about the company. Conflicting messages from these different sources can result in confused company images, brand positions, and customer relationships.
All too often, companies fail to integrate their various communications channels. The result is a hodgepodge of communications to consumers. Mass-media advertisements say one thing, whereas an in-store promotion sends a different signal, and the company’s Internet site, e-mails, Facebook page, or videos posted on YouTube say something altogether different. The problem is that these communications often come from different parts of the company. Advertising messages are planned and implemented by the advertising department or an ad agency. Other company departments are responsible for PR, sales promotion events, and Internet or social network efforts. However, whereas companies may have separated their communications tools, customers don’t. Mixed communications from these sources result in blurred brand perceptions by consumers.
The new world of digital and social marketing, tablet computers, smartphones, and apps presents both tremendous opportunities and but also big challenges. It can “give companies increased access to their customers, fresh insights into their preferences, and a broader creative palette to work with,” says one marketing executive. But “the biggest issue is complexity and fragmentation ... the amount of choice out there,” says another. The challenge is to “make it come together in an organized way.
