The main aim of this chapter, and the next, is to develop an understanding of the principles and characteristics of marketing communications. From an exploration of its role and tasks, the chapter considers some of the strategic issues and explores mar- keting communications strategy from a business audience perspective. A framework for the development of marketing communication plans follows. B2B branding and integrated marketing communications are explored before examin- ing marketing channel-based communications. If channels are to operate successfully and inter-firm relationships are to be developed for the benefit of all channel members, then sound trade channel communications are crucial. The chapter concludes with an examination of relationship-based marketing communication, and in particular, the nature, role and dynamics associated with client/agency based relationships.

Abstract: This research aims to describe the effectiveness of Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) in PT Halo Rumah Bernyanyi which, from the perspective of marketing strategy, could be studied by analyzing the segmentation, targeting, and positioning. Using case-study method with in-depth interview, the result shows that the implementation of IMC at PT Halo Rumah Bernyayi is arranged in one single strategy and tend to neglect the complexities of running multi-brand family karaoke-house.
