IMC & corporate image building
Syam Prathipati
Intro.
• "Corporate image" was once advertising jargon but is
today a common phrase referring to a company's
reputation. The "image" is what the public is supposed
to see when the corporation is mentioned.
• The ordinary man and woman on the street usually
have a wry view of public relations, advertising, hype,
hoopla, and therefore also of corporate image—and
this often for good reasons.
• But a good corporate image is a genuine asset; it
translates into dollars at the counter and higher stock
valuation
IMC is designed to:
• Affect behavior
• Use all forms of contacts
• Start with the customer
• Achieve synergy
• Build relationships
Role of IMC in Branding
• A brand is the personality that identifies a
product, service or company (name, term, sign,
symbol, or design, or combination of them) and
how it relates to key constituencies: Customers,
Staff, Partners, Investors etc.
• With more and more products and services
competing for consideration by customers who
have less and less time to make choices, well
known brand have a major competitive
advantage in today's market.
