So what is IMC?
IMC is a strategic business process used to plan, develop, execute and evaluate coordinated, measurable, persuasive brand communications programs over time with consumers, customers, prospects, employees, associates, and other targeted relevant external and internal audiences. The goal is to generate both short-term financial returns and build long-term brand and shareholder value (Don Schultz)

Overall, campaigns targeting new customers outperform those targeting existing customers. But both are necessary. Need to consider brand strategy and budget allocation

Multi-tasker Audiences: TV-to-online spill- over effects
Example of synergistic effects across media (Du, Xu, Wilbur, 2019): • Immediate Responses of Online Brand Search and Price Search to TV
Ads • TV ads for SUV brands in the US • Analysed +27,000 ad spots on national TV and +750,000 spots on
local TV

Multi-tasker Audiences: TV-to-online spill- over effects
• Results • National or local TV generate both brand search and price search spikes
immediately after the ad airs • Nearly all of immediate response occurs within 5 min
• Brand search peaks during the first min after ad airs, then dissipates quickly • Price search is spread more evenly over the 5 mins
• National ads lead to competitor-brand searches, not competitor-price searches • National ads more cost-effective at generating immediate brand searches
whereas local ads more cost-effective for price searches

Online vs Offline: the Power of Synergy

• Online is on average 15-30% more efficient, but not across brands and multi-channel approach is best.

Online costs have been increasing…

Variance is much higher for Online, TV is more predictable

Cross-media strategies are more effective: Recent findings
• The highest campaign ROI comes from a combined multi-channel approach: combining offline and online is 50% more efficient than offline alone and more efficient than online alone. • Online media with a TV campaign drives ROI across all categories,
more so in high consideration categories: e.g. travel campaigns with TV + online reach on average 56% higher ROI than TV alone. • 4/10 marketers focus primarily on short-term as indicator of success
but on average 30% of the value of incremental transactions are generated after the campaign spend period.

Budgeting for Other Elements of the Marketing Communications Mix • Besides campaigns focusing on communicating about products and
brands, there is corporate advertising, direct marketing that need budgeting as well • Sales promotions can be more easily budgeted as their effects are
more quantifiable, especially as a company builds experience. Factors to consider include: • Redemption rate: how many coupons will be used, extra units will be sold,
samples demanded, price deals taken • What is the cost covered by the extra units sold?
• PR: staffing/agency costs are relatively fixed, no media costs, need to include production/event costs • Sales force: higher in B2B, fixed costs, take time to train, harder to
change quickly

Which budgeting methods are most used?
• 28% judgmental budgeting, 28% objective and task processes, 20% measurement-based, 15% sales, 9% competitive (West el al 2009) • But more precisely, companies use a combination of methods. A
popular one is heuristics (e.g. maximum advertising/sales ratio) with analytics (West et al 2014) • Budgeting largely depends on corporate culture, access to data,
personalities, industry, timing, risk, etc. • Usually there are many players involved: marketing,
finance/accounting, operations, R&D, corporate management, etc.

When would you increase your budget?
• Competition • Launching a new product • Product differentiation • Low observability of product qualities • Absence of strong price competition • Retailer-manufacturer opportunities or constraints

Lidl (Aldi competitor)
• Prior to 2014, perceived as cheap, without any value other than low price • In 2014, “Taste Test” national TV advertising showing people eating
appealing food and later revealing it was from Lidl • Added 2.2% market share over 4 years (they had gained 3.1 share
over the previous 20 years, mostly because they expanded number of stores) • Why did it grow?
