Integrated Marketing Communications Background Imagine you are a brand manager developing a communications mix for your brand. Frequently, marketing communications considerations include things like: Which advertising/promotional vehicles to spend your budget on? At what point in their decision making process do you want to reach the consumer? What is your key demographic and what is the best way to reach that market segment? Do you want to purchase mass reach communication or targeted options? Are you more focused on building brand equity and awareness or driving trial and overall sales?
