Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC): Extended Version or New Idea?
Journal of Global Academic Institute Education & Social Sciences (JGAIESS), 2015
Development of IMC conceptualization in the academic domain has reaped many pros and cons since its inception in the early 1980s. Although the meaning of IMC has become similar among its main thinkers, it is still identified academics who consider IMC as an extended version of advertising and marketing communications disciplines. Responding to these meaning differences on IMC there is a third party which is important to be heard, IMC educators. Given that educators are one of the stakeholders who are not only responsible for education of the next generation of practitioners and academics, but also define the IMC in classroom, the educator is thus at the vanguard of the deployment of IMC disciplines to the next generation. What is taught in the classroom is reflected in the syllabus made. The syllabus itself is a manifestation of teaching and the main guideline in the teaching-learning process. Based on that idea, the syllabi review includesa written record of how lecturers accept, adopt and implement IMC which is an important method of documenting the development of IMC teaching. This study was conductedfirstly, to explain the meaning of IMC that is taught in Magister program in Indonesia which is traced from the syllabus as a lecture material; and secondly, to explore the gap between state of the art of IMC conceptualization and the understanding of IMC subjects taught in mastersprograms in Indonesia. A qualitative approach is used in this study and five syllabuses of mastersprograms in major universities in Jakarta used as a sample in which it is assumed that the universities and its educators in Jakarta, both public and private, are the trend setters of educational models in Indonesia.
Unlocking the Power of Integrated Marketing Communications: How Integrated Is Your IMC Program
The future of advertising and marketing communications will be marked by an increasingly diverse collection of new digital options added to the traditional media and communication options already available to marketers. By taking advantage of the unique strengths of different communication options, and combining them and sequencing them strategically, marketers have the opportunity to drive sales and build brands in ways never before possible. Doing so, however, will require new concepts, new tools, and new thinking. Toward that goal, this article describes seven integrated marketing communications (IMC) choice criteria that marketers can use to judge how effectively and efficiently they have assembled their IMC programs. The article also outlines five priority areas for future research to help further guide the successful design and implementation of IMC programs.
This article examines the understanding and practice of integrated marketing communications (IMC) in organisations since its inception 20 years ago. It analyses a survey conducted among chief executive officers (CEOs) of marketing communications agencies, chief marketing officers (CMOs) of client companies, and other senior leaders of the industry in the Asia-Pacific region. It then looks into the similarities and differences between academics' and practitioners' understanding and practice of IMC.
This paper reviews the history of the construct, "integrated marketing communications," and finds that while it has achieved broad adoption, the intellectual work it was intended to accomplish is in fact being further advanced in other disciplines.
Marketing Paradigm: Transition from MC to Imc
ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT, 2012
A major change is occurring in marketing in general and also marketing communication (MC) due to the digital revolution and increased sophistication of consumers. In the paper the authors state that because of the prevalence of this marketing trend the systematization aspects of marketing communication integration and new marketing communication methods/approaches in the theoretical level declare about their urgency for better interpretation of marketing communication structure in marketing practice. In the authors' opinion it is important to respond to this paradigm shift with enhanced integration and correct use of MC in order to maximize marketing efficiency. Integrated marketing communications (IMC) are capable of solving a wide range of problems in urgent marketplace. That is why the new marketing paradigm approach and analysis underline the importance of IMC development and implementation in companies. The aim of the paper is to reveal the importance and exigency of a new point of view on MC in general and its use in modern marketthe integrated approach. Following the accomplished survey, the authors propose to establish an innovative point of view for defining and achieving companies' aims according to the changes dictated by marketing paradigm.
IN SEARCH OF A THEORY OF INTEGRATED MARKETING COMMUNICATION
For the most part, the literature base for Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) has developed from an applied or tactical level rather than from an intellectual or theoretical one. Since industry, practitioner and even academic studies have provided little insight into what IMC is and how it operates, our approach has been to investigate that other IMC community, that is, the academic or instructional group responsible for disseminating IMC knowledge. We proposed that the people providing course instruction and directing research activities have some basis for how they organize, consider and therefore instruct in the area of IMC.

The Emergence of IMC: A Theoretical Perspective
Within a short period of just over a decade, IMC has swept around the world and become the accepted norm of businesses and apparently the agencies that service their needs. Here we critically consider IMC in terms of (1) development, (2) impact on marketing communications, (3) barriers to further progress, and (4) current location identification and likely development in the future. Evidently, IMC is here to stay. But there are problems. Not least of these is the apparent reluctance of many businesses to adopt anything more than an inside-out approach to IMC-in other words, bundling promotional mix elements together so they look and sound alike. But, IMC has to move beyond this stage if it is to radically change the face of communications and marketing. SOMETIMES, in a specific disciplinary area, it is useful to pause and take stock of our current location and the processes that have led to this location. Many years ago, Daniel Webster said: do this by 1. considering the IMC developmental process 2. evaluating how and in what ways IMC has impacted upon marketing communications 3. providing a critical analysis of IMC 4. indicating the barriers to further development of IMC 5. showing where IMC is now and providing a rationale for its subsequent development or demise
