Those are all current buzzwords for marketers who are realizing that continued marketing success hinges on incorporating these new ideas and trends with traditional marketing practices. Integrated marketing communication is the term used in reference to the blending of conventional and new marketing channels and techniques.In this blog, I will analyze and provide insight on real-world examples of  integrated marketing communications.

In the same way that companies strive to establish identities and create awareness through a strong presence on both digital and traditional media outlets, individuals can form their own personal brand.
