  • IMC) by Advertising Agencies
    The Role of Brand Identity in the Implementation of Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) by Advertising Agencies David N. Bibby A Thesis Submitted to Auckland University of Technology in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) 2015 Faculty of Business and Law Abstract This thesis seeks answers to a fundamental question relating to the field of marketing communications: How does one implement Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC)? It is almost 30 years since Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) first aroused the interest of researchers. In that time a significant body of research has emerged seeking to define what the concept means (Kliatchko, 2009; Moriarty & Schultz, 2012) and to understand what factors are involved in managing the implementation of IMC (Kerr & Patti, 2013; Porcu, del Barrio-Garcia, & Kitchen, 2012). The perceived benefits of IMC provide a compelling explanation as to why the practice is widespread today (Eagle et al. 2007; Kitchen & Schultz, 1999; Schultz & Schultz, 2004). The basic concept and principal benefit of IMC is synergy (Duncan & Everett, 1993). IMC is perceived as improving media and message delivery and thereby reducing media costs (Nowak, Cameron & Delorme, 1996). IMC is therefore considered an efficient and effective strategy for building brand equity (Madhavaram, Badrinarayana & McDonald, 2005). Since the inception of IMC a number of scholars have emphasised the strategic role of the brand in the implementation of IMC (Duncan & Moriarty, 1998; Duncan & Mulhern, 2004; Schultz, 1998; Schultz & Kitchen, 2000a). Building brand equity is considered to be a key strategic objective of IMC (Aaker, 2014; Fill, 2009; Kapferer, 2008) and the brand identity construct has been proposed as a key element in that process (Aaker, 1996; Kapferer, 2008).

A web-based experiment reveals that while diferent imagery types (implicit vs. explicit) in ads do not diferentiate attitudes toward ad and brand, consumers’ individual tolerance of the drag queen culture positively afects such responses. Additionally, the ad imagery and consumer tolerance toward drag queens have an interaction efect on brand attitude via ad attitude in the explicit drag queen-themed imagery condition but not in implicit imagery. The results add insight to a growing body of literature on the LGBTQ and social identity theory research and beneft marketers with a better understanding+ of how to manage drag queen-themed advertisements within mainstream media.
