The Evolution of Integrated Marketing Communications The Customer-driven Marketplace Edited by Don E. Schultz, Charles H. Patti and Philip J. Kitchen * The Evolution of Integrated Marketing Communications This book assesses updates and enhances the basic concepts surrounding the academic theory and practice of Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC). Since the intro­ duction of IMC in the late 1980s, the concept has spread around the world. In that expansion, many authors have written about IMC; practitioners have adopted and adapted the concept to fit their own market situations. Further, dramatic changes have occurred in the technologies used in marketing communications which consumers have accepted and employed in their consumption of marketers' messages and incentives. Thus, there have been dramatic changes in how IMC was initially envisioned and how it has developed over time. The editors identify and discuss these changes, how they have occurred and what they mean going forward for all types of marketers around the world. Thus, IMC, and indeed integration of communications at all organisational levels is essential in the 21st century organisations. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Marketing Commu­ nications. Don E. Schultz, Emeritus Professor-in-Service, The Medill School, Northwestern Uni­ versity is generally acknowledged as the founding father of Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC). He was the founding editor of the Journal of Direct Market­ ing, has researched and written extensively in the trade and academic press, while publishing 24 books and over 150 journal articles.

Introduction: The evolution of IMC: IMC in a customer-driven marketplace Don E. Schultz, Charles H. Patti and Philip J. Kitchen One of the advantages of career longevity is the ability to see and experience change. In the academic area, the changes are not immediately obvious or radical. In marketing communications, we’ve seen the development of new models of learning, the globali­ zation of higher education, increased emphasis on research, the call for measurement of marketing productivity and the resulting emphasis on marketing metrics. Many of these changes have been profound. They have changed what we in the academic community think and theorize, as well as what practitioners do, forever. Certainly, earlier periods in marketing, which we often refer to as “the good old days”, do set the stage for the present and the future. But, that only happens for those who accurately read the environment and assess the impact of how we think about and practice marketing, and, especially marketing communications. During the past 50 years, many marketing management concepts and frameworks have emerged. For example, the ‘4Ps’ (product, price, place and promotion), the pro­ duct life cycle, buyer behavior models, positioning, supply chains and a host of others. These frameworks often help shape the way we think about marketing, stimulate research questions, influence what is taught, and typically guide (and sometimes pro­ scribe) marketing practice. Some of these frameworks influence marketing practice for a long lime. Others are more short-lived, being replaced by new observations, innova­ tions and practices. This new book is focused on the development, maturation and future of one of these managerial frameworks - integrated marketing communications (IMC). At this point, there is little doubt that IMC has become one of the most influential marketing man­ agement frameworks of our time. Today, IMC is the subject of professional works and textbooks; trade and academic conferences; higher education curricula; academic journals and industry magazines; and the actual practice of IMC in the marketplace. Along with this research and learning, there has been an on-going, lively discussion about how to shorten the gap between what is happening with 1MC and what should happen. For example, how did the IMC evolution occur? What are the primary drivers? What changes have resulted? And, where do we go from here? All these areas and more, make up the on-going discussion of IMC. And, that is what this text is all about. The ‘good old days’ The world, consumers, communications systems and the study of Integrated Marketing Communications (1MC) have all changed dramatically in the last dozen years. When 1
