Study Notes
Introduction to Communication Theory
- Communication theory explores how messages are created, transmitted, and interpreted between senders and receivers.
- This theory is central to marketing, ensuring messages resonate with audiences, influence perceptions, and drive action.
- Communication acts as a bridge between brands and consumers, crucial for building relationships, creating awareness, and fostering loyalty.
- Effective communication aligns a brand's goals with consumer needs and preferences.
Evolution of Communications
Traditional Communication Models
One-Way (Linear) Communication
- Example: Shannon-Weaver Model
- Key components: sender, encoding, channel, receiver, noise
- Limitations include a focus on transmission, ignoring feedback from the audience.
Interactive Communication
- Introduced feedback loops and recognized communication is a two-way process.
- Example: Schramm's Interactive Model
- Benefits include adjustments to messaging based on audience response and acknowledgment of shared experiences.
Transactional Models
- View communication as a simultaneous exchange of information.
Modern Communication in the Digital Era
- Interactive communication uses social media and digital tools for real-time feedback.
- Consumers now have more control over when, where, and how they interact with brands.
- Data-driven personalization allows marketers to tailor messages to specific segments or individuals.

- Originator of the message, typically a brand or organization.

- Effective channel selection ensures the message reaches the target audience.
- Example: Tech brands might prioritize digital channels like YouTube and Instagram.

- Example: Nike crafting messages that emphasize inclusivity for Gen Z.
