marketing campaigns by Red Bull, and maybe the best marketing stunt of all time. In fact, he says
that there is no way the brand could get cut as much popularity out of the jump through a mere
press coverage. Social networks played a massive part in this branding strategy. While YouTube
offered live feed to the audience, dedicated Facebook and Instagram feeds catapulted the gig
into the big league. While Red Bull bombarded Twitter with live images, the mentions and
hashtags by marveled social media users lost all sane count.
Such path breaking campaigns show the path forward towards the future of integrated marketing
communications. Therere no points for guessing of course, that the most effective and successful
marketing managers of the near future shall be judged on their ability to integrate each and every
channel of outward communications in the best way possible.
Concluding with the words of Pratik Dholakia (2014), VP Marketing at E2M Solutions, Integrated
Marketing Communications is not like a software package that you can buy, install and run in one
go. It is a far-reaching change that affects every aspect of the organization, external agencies as
well as the end user. The attempt is to make all the various marketing tools that we have at our
disposal to work together in a synergistic manner so that they make up for each others
deficiencies. Give your organization time and solid direction on how to go about this process and
see how the fruits of collaboration and marketing synergies come together to build a stronger,
more successful brand in the long run.
