As entrepreneurs, small businesses and companies seek ways of communicating more effectively and efficiently with their targeted audiences, marketing communicators are continually challenged. In this class we will journey through the principles of advertising and public relations with a focus on the importance of integrated marketing communications (IMC), whereby all marketing communications elements are aligned and “speak with one voice” in delivering consistent messages and influencing action. 

Marketing communications, or “marcom” for short, represents the collection of all elements in a company’s marketing mix that facilitate exchange by establishing shared meaning with its customers. The marcom elements include promotion, advertising, sales promotions, public relations, direct marketing, personal selling, and social media/digital marketing.  We will examine each of these.
