What is the difference between an advertising plan and an integrated marketing communication (IMC) plan? If you were to outline both documents you would see essentially the same six sections or factors in both documents. The following outline of an IMC campaign comes from Advertising & IMC: Principles and Practices (Moriarty et al., 2014, p. 535)
Situation Analysis
Background research
SWOTs: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats
Key communication problem(s) to be solved
Key Strategic Campaign Decisions
Objectives
Targeting and engaging stakeholders
Brand positioning strategy
MarcomMix
Platforms and objectives
Synergy
Message Strategy
Key consumer and brand relationship insights
Message direction
Strategic consistency
IMC Media and Contact Points
Multimedia and multichannel
Multiplatform
Contact points, touch points, and critical touch points
Management and Campaign Controls
Budgeting
Evaluation of effectiveness
The difference between the two is in scope. An IMC plan is broad in scope and attempts to coordinate many different types of communication activities such as advertising, public relations, sales promotions, sponsorship, direct marketing, social media, etc. An advertising plan is narrow in scope and handles just one activity type, advertising. An advertising plan could be created to accomplish the goals and direction that are given within the bigger IMC plan.
