"Simply Marketing Communications" offers a concise overview of the engagements, strategies and practice of marketing communications. Unlike most competing texts that describe the 'How' behind Marketing Communications, this book provides the 'Why' behind Marketing Communications. Based on Chris Fill's comprehensive "Marketing Communications: Engagement, Strategies and Practice", this book is geared towards both undergraduate and postgraduate students who want to extend their knowledge of marketing communications, as well as meeting the needs of those students studying for a professional qualification with the Chartered Institute of Marketing.
