  Description  
     
 

Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) as it was designed, works. But many misconceptions and misinterpretations have seeped in over time that keep the concept from making its full potential contribution. A true IMC programme integrates everything that impacts customer behaviour, and it involves multidimensional, interactive, continuously measured communication that connects the brand or product and the customer, because that's what makes the whole process lift off and stay in orbit. This course is designed by one of the original inventors of the IMC concept to help practitioners not only to thoroughly understand the theory but also to effectively implement IMC programmes.

 
   
     
  Objective  
     
  This programme will help advertising and other marketing and marketing communication managers understand the forces impacting marketing and advertising today worldwide, help them to understand their changed roles in this new marketing environment, and help them to develop new approaches to the function which will allow them to contribute consistently to the achievement of company strategic objectives and improved productivity.

Advertising and other marketing communications functional managers, marketing managers, product managers, and other managers responsible for supervising or working with the function, financial managers responsible for setting up advertising budgets and accountability measures, advertising agency account executives, client service executives of other functional agencies such as direct mail, promotion and public relations.

  Comments From Participants
 

The Integrated Marketing Communication programme is quite helpful, especially the relevant tools, processes and case studies that were presented inside the class. The professor, by introducing timely cases and giving insightful analysis in a humorous way. Together with his rich practical experiences, he has established himself as an authority on this topic. In my opinion, CEIBS is indeed the best business school in mainland China, and the programme offered here has impressed me.

As an integration of theory with practice, the Integrated Marketing Communication programme has been quite instructive for us. Instead of lecturing on pure theoretical knowledge, the professor uses his practical corporate experience to help to clarify the key points of theory.

Integrated Marketing Communications programme offers practical tools such as scheduling, marketing planning model and 4C theory. The professor is good at highlighting theoretical knowledge in different cases and adopts a vivid, interesting and fascinating teaching style. Overall, the programme has ensured a comprehensive and systematic improvement in this area.
