Integrated marketing communications - David Pickton

Integrated Marketing Communications, 2e

David Pickton and Amanda Broderick

Integrated Marketing Communications, 2e

takes into account all aspects and elements of marketing communications. Based on the success of the first edition, David Pickton and Amanda Broderick have restructured this edition to make the three marketing communications models more explicit. Each model is clearly displayed graphically at the beginning of each part to provide a visual 'route map' throughout the book. This lively text takes a European approach and provides comprehensive coverage of the marketing communications mix elements. Ideal for those studying general marketing communications, the book also appeals to students taking advertising, public relations, sales promotions, or direct marketing courses.

• relevant case material covering a wide variety of sectors and marketing scenarios
• robust pedagogy in each chapter, including viewpoints, objectives, chapter summaries, self-review and discussion questions, marginal and end of book glossaries. Text features include Need to Know, Food for Thoughts, and Warnings.
