The third edition of Integrated Marketing Communication is a big step forward in the literature on our discipline. Robyn Blakeman covers all communication categories, including social media, alternative media, digital media, public relations, sales promotion, direct marketing, and all forms of traditional media. The focus is on how to successfully use IMC to build your brand. The key, according to Blakeman, is relationship building with individual customers, one-by-one. The third edition of the text tells readers how this is done. Blakeman tells us when and why IMC works. And, just as importantly, she tells us when and why IMC fails. This is an important read for IMC practitioners and scholars alike.
— Archie Sader, West Virginia University
Blakeman explains IMC in ways that undergraduates can grasp and implement both in the classroom and in their career paths. While updating the foundational constructs, the third edition also provides a holistic perspective of both strengths and problems inherent in IMC and media. The chapters on social, mobile, and alternative media alone make the text worth considering, as do the case studies included in each chapter. True to the title, this text is an innovative encounter with IMC from idea to implementation for both student and faculty.

Test Bank. The Test Bank includes a variety of test questions and is available in either Word, PDF or Respondus formats. For every chapter in the text, the Test Bank includes a complete test with a variety of question types, including multiple choice, true false, and essay formats.
Our Test Bank is most flexibly used in Respondus, test authoring software which is available in two forms. Check with your university to see if you have a site license to the full program,
Respondus 4.0, which offers the option to upload your tests to any of the most popular course management systems such as Blackboard. If you don’t have a Respondus license or do not care about having your tests in a course management system, you can use our test bank file in
Respondus LE. The LE program is free and can be used to automate the process of creating tests in print format.
(Please note that Not all test banks are available as a Respondus package.)
Lecture Notes. The Lecture Notes provide the tables and figures from the text.
