Advertising in particular was no longer considered as effective because of MARK6021 Integrated Marketing Communications 4 media fragmentation, increased consumer scepticism and the increasing impact of the internet. IMC is a methodology and a way of thinking about communication which was created to manage brands in the new brand communication landscape. The essence of IMC is that everything a company does, and sometimes what it doesn’t do, can send a powerful brand message. Much of IMC is still about advertising but it just goes much deeper and is much wider in scope. It looks at the different ways for companies to communicate about their brand, in an integrated fashion, which takes advantage of the differences between media and leverages their strengths. This class will profile a number of frameworks and theories to elaborate and evaluate communication initiatives. The overall structure of the class is designed to answer the following question: how do we communicate to build brand value? 2.4 Course Aims and Relationship to Other Courses The aim of this course if for you to: Learn how to develop a promotional campaign Learn how to use strategy to develop your campaign Learn some of the latest promotional techniques and be able to evaluate and select based on your situation This course is part of the Master of Marketing program and builds upon the concepts you have learned from MARK6000 Marketing Management: Contemporary Analytical Perspectives. 2.5 Student Learning Outcomes The Course Learning Outcomes are what you should be able to DO by the end of this course if you participate fully in learning activities and successfully complete the assessment items.
