Nontraditional Media in Marketing and Advertising



March 2013 | 264 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
A concise guide that offers a step-by-step approach to the strategic use of alternative media by both the marketing and advertising professions.

• Specific alternative media methods are discussed in separate chapters, including electronic and social media, mobile media, out-of-home and transit media, and direct marketing and sales.

• Numerous real-world case and visual examples are provided, including augmented reality, mobile GPS couponing, interactive television, cinema advertising, live mobile billboards, poster campaigns and many more.

• Checklists are included to provide students with a step-by-step guide to how to incorporate alternative media into future marketing campaigns.

A useful complementary textbook to more standard textbooks in the area of IMC. It needs to be used together with a less specilised textbook, but it does cover the growing areas of new media which are usually short-changed in more traditional textbooks.
