Many companies use what is called an Integrated Marketing Communication Plan. Let’s use Guinness as an example of how a brand manager might put together such a plan. A few years ago they celebrated their 250th anniversary. To plan their Marketing Campaign for this major event, they included paid advertising in several media sources around the world, developed a global Online Sweepstakes to celebrate this event by having their customers log in to participate and have the chance to win some fantastic prizes. They also promoted a global campaign to celebrate “Arthur Guinness Day” to honor the founder of this company. In addition they rounded out their integrated Marketing campaign using social media like Twitter to announce a new brew especially made for to celebrate this occasion.

In developing an Integrated Marketing Communication Plan, a brand manager needs to think about how they will plan, develop, and evaluate a persuasive campaign with many different approaches to reach their targeted audiences.
