    • Value is central to marketing communications.

    • The 4Ps (Product, Price, Place, Promotion) have evolved to the 4Cs (Customer needs, Cost to the customer, Convenience, Communication) as a consumer-centric approach to marketing communications.

    Chapter 2: Branding

    • Brands are a web of meaningful and valuable associations for customers.

    • Intrinsic dimensions of a brand are rational and tangible, whereas extrinsic dimensions are symbolic and intangible.

    • Brands can be made memorable and easy to recall, and differentiated from competitors through use of name, logo, slogan and visual appeal.

    Chapter 3: How marketing communications work

    • The hierarchy-of-effects model describes a process that consumers typically follow in the buying process: awareness, interest, desire, and an action.

    • Hierarchy-of-effects models assume a sequence but, in reality, the consumer journey involves multiple back and forth steps.

    • There are multi-dimensional models which are built upon the different ways people process communication (high or low involvement).

    Chapter 4: Marketing Communications Planning

    • Communications planning is a process. It requires assessments of the current marketing environment as well as the competitive environment.

    • Clear objectives, target audience identification and selection, are critical elements of a solid communications plan.

    Chapter 6: Media Planning

    • The media plan identifies the best media outlets for communicating a marketing message to the target audience.

    • It seeks to stimulate a consumer to move from a passive state of awareness to an active state of purchasing or repurchase.

    Chapter 8: Direct Marketing

    • Direct marketing is a technique for communicating with prospects and customers, seeking a direct and measurable response.

    • The philosophical basis of direct marketing is viewing each customer as a valuable investment.

    • Typical tools for direct marketing include direct mail, catalogues, telemarketing, and websites.

    Chapter 9: Public Relations

    • Public relations (PR) is the planned, sustained effort to maintain good relations with publics and stakeholders.

    • PR efforts can be internal (to internal audiences) or external (to different stakeholders)

    • PR activities create a strong image that can support marketing goals.

    Chapter 10: Sponsorship

    • Sponsorship is a cash or kind investment in an event or cause with the goal of gaining access to its exploitable commercial potential.
