Support our nonpartisan, nonprofit research and insights which help leaders address societal challenges.
DonateThere has never been a more exciting time to be a marketing leader. Old rules are dying. New paradigms are being invented. The power is shifting from brands pushing to consumers curating. A “finger-tip society” has emerged where anything is a click away, and brand choices are often influenced more by algorithms than loyalty. In today’s marketplace, Integrated Marketing Communications is a mandatory mindset for any company that is putting the customer at the heart of the enterprise.
We discuss:
- State-of-the-art strategies and frameworks for integrating messages (e.g. developing central themes, assigning lead agency, pan-agency/function briefings)
- Staying current on the newest channels and the changes in existing channels (e.g. mobile, VR, AR)
- The art and science of IMC (e.g. data analytics, CRM, social engagement, balancing traditional and digital)
