5. What some marketers are saying
about integrated marketing……
• “ One benefit of integrated marketing is that it's the only type that will always be
around - individual channels wax and wane with the constant evolution of
the media ecosystem (often marching in lockstep with technology), but the system
as a whole persists, and knowing how to maintain a presence within it is a valuable
skill.” Jason Amunwa, Product Manager @ digital-telepathy
• “No longer is it enough to just push the same message in each channel. Today, true
IM leverages all the channels to tell a combined message using each channel to
deliver the part of the message it [the channel] is best suited to deliver. “
Tom Martin, Founder @ Converse Digital
• “Integrated marketing lets you "supersize" your efforts by harnessing all relevant
channels to meet your goals. You can use the different channels to highlight
facets of your offering and reach different segments, but at the end of the day, you
need all the efforts to move you toward your objective.” Jean Shields-Fleming,
award winning content strategist
