How do you boost revenue, improve your brand loyalty, and delight your customer in the process? With advertising that spreads the promotion of your products and services across multiple platforms.
The term integrated marketing is used to describe the process through which a strategic campaign is created to be delivered over various advertising channels and platforms. This process also works to align the primary brand message that is communicated over your marketing channels and assets, like your website, email, and social media.
This type of marketing is effective at boosting leads and building brand awareness and is also more effective than campaigns that are run on individual channels. As stated in this Forbes article, research conducted by Gartner determined that campaigns across four or more channels outperform single- or dual-channel campaigns by 300 percent. A consistent message spread across several channels drives value and is 31 percent more effective at building brands, according to Kantar Millward Brown’s study, AdReaction: The Art of Integration.
