B2B MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

MARKETING VS. COMMUNICATIONSTraditionally, marketing and communications had been entirely different functions that each had their own departments.

MARKETING VS. COMMUNICATIONSMarketing focused on issues such as customers, sales, and brand

awareness.

Communications (often called public relations or external relations)

dealt with everyone else in the outside world with whom the company

interacted, such as the government, community, media, and financial

analysts.

Today, however, more and more companies are combining Marketing and Communications under a single department (often called "marketing communications" or "marcom") to become more efficient and ensure that all messages are consistent among all audiences and across all channels.

The key to understand: Publish and transmit unified, integrated messaging on and across all online and offline marcom channels including websites, social networks, advertising campaigns, online content, news releases, product brochures, and sales catalogues.
