indistinguishable sources
• Combine and use MC instruments consistently
• Synergetic effect between tools and instruments (1 + 1 = 3)
• Seamless, homogeneous communications
CREATING SYNERGIES IN MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

• In-store or point-of-purchase communications that are consistent with advertising are more effective
• A promotional campaign that is supported by advertising is more successful
• Public relations, sponsorship and advertising can have synergetic effects on company and brand image
• Websites are more frequently visited when announced in or supported by offline campaigns
• Social media campaigns are more effective when accompanied by offline advertising or brand
activation campaigns

“IMC is a new way of looking at the whole, where once we saw
only parts such as advertising, public relations, sales
promotion, purchasing, employee communication, and so

,forth, to look at it the way the consumer sees it as a flow of information from indistinguishable sources.”

, UNDERSTANDING CULTURES
“Culture is the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the members of one group or
category of people from those of another.” - Hofstede, 1991
A culture is the consistent configuration of:
• learned behavior
• results of behavior
• whose component elements are shared and transmitted by the members of a particular society
“Culture is what remains when that which has been learned is entirely forgotten.”
Marketers often fall victim to the self-reference criterion:
• Unconscious tendency to refer everything to our own cultural values
• Using own thought framework, which is mainly tied to our national culture, to interpret situations,
evaluate people, communicate, negotiate or decide which attitude to take
➔ Ethnocentrism
GLOBALIZATION, GLOCALIZATION AND LOCALIZATION

• Should you localize (adapt) or globalize (standardize or integrate) your marketing communications
across different cultures?
