Winning brands with long-standing success all have one thing in common – a comprehensive toolbox of marketing tactics. A thriving brand requires unified, data-driven strategies that maximize impact across every touchpoint. When done right, integrated marketing is an approach that considers all marketing efforts and ensures that each channel works together to drive business results.
A Holistic Approach to Marketing
Integrated marketing means developing campaigns that align audiences, messaging, branding, and strategy across multiple channels – from direct mail to digital advertising, email marketing to social media.
Aligning Online and Offline Channels
Online and offline media work better together, but not every marketing firm has the perspective or ability to execute a cross-platform experience. Whether it’s a programmatic postcard that leads to an exclusive online offer or a social campaign that reinforces an in-store promotion, a great integrated approach enhances brand recall and drives conversions. An effective integrated marketing strategy bridges the gap between traditional and digital marketing to ensure a seamless customer journey.
Tactical Examples That Drive Success
What does integrated marketing look like in practice?
Some examples include:
- A postcard delivered within days to highest value potential customers
- Top social ads running across vertical video placements
- Integrating modeled audiences into digital media
- Shifting spend seamlessly from one digital channel to another based on client goals
- Budget flighting on digital built to support offline messages
