1

It all starts with the target

As in every marketing strategy, in integrated communication too the center of everything must always be your target. That is why we at Parklab always start from identifying it, paying attention to the current users of the product/service, but also the potential ones. Knowing who you are talking to, the needs of these individuals, the mental processes and the demographic characteristics that they share and that set them apart from the mass is essential to set any communication objective!

The objectives: setting where you want to get to...

What is the final goal of the integrated communication strategy you want to create and implement together with Parklab? Increasing sales, boosting brand awareness or organic visits to the site are all valid goals, for example, but you need to direct your efforts toward a well-defined result. A good objective, moreover, must always be clear, well identified and well defined, as well as measurable, that is its achievement must coincide with an objective factor, not a subjective one, achievable and relevant.

... and with what message

The content and the form of a message are important, especially when it comes to integrated and strategic communication. In fact, they must be set taking into account different factors. Among these, the reference target, the communication channels used, the objectives you want to reach, the specific characteristics of the product or service and the brand identity. The type of market you operate in also makes the difference, for example because B2C communication has needs, forms and methodologies different from B2B ones.

Integrated communication: a complex concept, made simple.

Integrated communication is defined as the sum of the different communication tools used and the information flows set up that every company implements both internally and externally, always respecting the consistency of the brand and the corporate identity.

Its goal is to achieve some tangible results, such as strategic positioning or the growth of brand awareness (externally) or the increase of staff motivation and their ability to best communicate the company values (internally), for example.

The decisive factor of integrated communication is always the coordination and mutual support between the internal and external actions, channels and information flows.

All this is made possible by an integrated communication plan, which must be built taking into account many different elements. Among these, the market, the target, the objectives, the tone of voice, and more.

The communication strategy translates into a document called the integrated communication plan. The communication plan translates your business marketing objectives into actions and tools to use.

Before creating it, however, our team here at Parklab will help you define some fundamental starting points, such as the business model, the target and the market objectives.

The starting point is always knowing who you are talking to and about what.

The integrated communication plan and its objectives

An integrated communication plan is built starting from the analysis of the business, the market the company operates in, its competitors and its target.

Once this information has been gathered, it is possible to set the integrated communication objectives you want to reach, choose and plan the tools to use and define the content (the topics to address).

This will be developed taking into account the brand tone of voice and carefully monitored, to interpret the results obtained (for example, user engagement and the results of the individual KPIs).

In fact, every integrated communication action must aim at well-identified objectives, which must be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and with a defined deadline.

There are many different possible objectives, which will depend on the company’s general marketing objectives. Despite this, among the most popular are objectives related to brand awareness, engagement and action.

From social to digital PR: the channels matter

An integrated communication strategy is characterized by the synergistic use of different channels and dissemination tools. These must coordinate with each other, influencing and supporting each other, creating a true communication ecosystem.

Among these, the main ones are:

  • The company website and, if applicable, the e-commerce channel too;
  • The company blog;
  • Newsletters;
  • Social networks;
  • SEO activity, that is «Search Engine Optimization», optimization for search engines;
  • Online advertising, both on Google and on social channels;
  • Digital PR activity.

Of course, this list of tools and channels is merely indicative. Every communication channel must be chosen taking into account the target, the reference market, the company needs and the preset objectives of the integrated communication strategy.

Differentiate to win.

In a good integrated communication strategy it is important to try to consider both 1:1 channels and mass channels.
We talk about BTL communication – Below the Line – and ATL – Above the Line.

BTL makes it possible, through the use of carefully selected channels and specific communication styles, to reach a specific group of target users, fostering a more intimate and highly personalized relationship. For example, this communication style uses channels like direct marketing, word of mouth and public relations.

ATL communication, on the other hand, is aimed at a wider, mass audience. Among the most famous channels for this communication style are TV and radio, but social channels can also work very well.

A proper combination of the two styles is important to create an effective integrated communication strategy able to bring home concrete results!
