Communication and Marketing Process
• Promotion is a communication process. The essence of promotion is
to deliver messages to targeted audience (whom is our consumers)
to induce change in behavior according to our goals.
• Traditionally, marketing mix is defined as a blend of activities such
as designing the product and its package, pricing the product,
distributing the product so that it is accessible to customers and
communicating about the product.
• To encourage customer experience with the product, marketers
need to share information about the product to customers, so that
customers are aware of the product.

central goal, satisfying the customers, helps coordinate
communication tools with the other marketing functions
and increases the likelihood that a particular
communication program will be successful.

Procedure to Communicate Value
• Situation analysis:
– This section details the search for and analysis of important
information and trends affecting marketplace, competition,
consumer behavior, company and product or brand itself.
• Example:
– A marketing communication manager of Excelcomindo plans to
reinforce his products. Market conditions show that consumers seek for
low-tariff cellular provider. Most of users make phone calls less than 3
minutes. This shows that in developing his promotional message he
should stress on low-tariff and duration people make phone calls to
determine price cut during certain moment.

do you offer?

deliver to them?

Procedure to Communicate Value
• Communication objectives:
– Communication objectives are derived from marketing objectives along
with the results of situation analysis.
– The objectives can be financial objectives or non-financial objectives,
such as product awareness, product image building, and so forth.
• Targeting the Audience:
– Marketing communication team must create profiles of target audiences
that include demographics, personality descriptors, and lifestyle traits.
The purpose is to make that “typical” person as real as possible for the
creative people, who then try to write believable messages that will
appeal to this person.
