TI - Advertising and promotion: an integrated marketing communications perspective SN - 0072314451 (hardcover) U1 - 659.1 PY - 2000/// CY - [S.l.] PB - Irwin Professional Pub N2 - The field of advertising and promotion continues to dramatically change since the dominant days of high-powered Madison Avenue agencies. Marketers must look beyond traditional media in order to achieve success. In order to best communicate with consumers, advertisers must utilize the myriad of media outlets-print, radio, cable, satellite TV, and now the Internet. Belch/Belch is the first book to reflect the shift from the conventional methods of advertising to the more widely recognized approach of implementing an integrated marketing communications strategy. Belch/Belch conveys throughout the text that one must recognize how a firm uses all of the promotional tools available to convey a unified message to the consumer. The integrated marketing communications perspective, or theme of the text, catapults the reader into the business practices of the 21st century UR - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0072314451/chopaconline-20 ER -
