The Task
To start preparing this final piece of assessment, you are first required to conduct extensive online research to find examples of the recent integrated marketing campaign of your chosen product/service. You may wish to use information that you have gathered in the second step of the consumer decision-making process that you have prepared earlier in your video submission.
By the end of week 11, you are required to submit a two-page document that contains screenshots of the integrated marketing campaign to your workshop facilitator via MyKBS, under ‘assessments tab’ ‘Integrated Marketing Campaign Validation’ icon.
This validation step is worth 5% of your grade for this assessment, and you will not be able to submit the recommendations report until your workshop facilitator has validated your research, so be wise and don’t be late.
What is Integrated Marketing Campaign?
• is an approach to creating a unified and seamless experience for consumers to interact with the brand/enterprise;
• it attempts to meld all aspects of marketing communication such as advertising, sales promotion, public relations, direct marketing, and social media, through their respective mix of tactics, methods, channels, media, and activities, so that all work together as a unified force.
It is a process designed to ensure that all messaging and communications strategies are consistent across all channels and are cantered on the customer.
But what about 4Ps?
