In the class, different means of communication, applicable for the marketing manager are introduced.

Here, specific models for targeting are introduced, and in this connection, modelling and formulation of communication objectives and positioning strategies are covered. Different strategies are dealt with, in terms of methodologies for generating creative ideas. Creative execution tactics under various conditions of brand involvement and brand awareness are described, and communication content and attention getting strategies are covered. The integrated communication strategy is discussed from a corporate and brand identity point of view, and the role of promotional strategies evaluated. Although, the role of media strategy, media planning, and communication research and evaluation is dealt with, in relation to the overall integrated communication strategy approach.
