The text includes key case studies on companies, including Proctor and Gamble, NSPCC and Ardi, illustrating the practical side of IMC in addition to an introduction to the main theories at work. Including an additional Study Guide at the back, this book will be a valuable resource for students of marketing and marketing communications.
