Summary and Conclusion
Advertising is a core part of many
companies’ marketing mix: the activities
that link a brand to its market and its
consumers or customers
Traditionally, media advertising has taken
the lion’s share of marketing
communications budgets, at least for most
consumer goods companies, since it is a
cost-effective means of reaching large
numbers of people.
Summary and Conclusion
As media and markets have fragmented,
however, other forms of communication
are gaining importance, and advertising is
increasingly seen as just part of an
integrated communications programme
As such, advertising works together, and
integrates with, a variety of other forms of
communication.
Questions for discussion
Is advertising becoming more or less
important to companies? Why should
this be so?
