1.1 Background to the
Study
The need for an organization to properly coordinate its marketing
communications strategies in order to deliver a clear, consistent, credible and
competitive message about itself and its product has become a challenge today
for every result oriented firm. Effective marketing communications should
therefore be an integral part of every efficient and result driven
organization. How innovative and creative marketing communications
practitioners are inappropriately combining, coordinating and efficiently using
marketing communication tools will have great impact on their companies’
products/services and by extension, on such products’ market share. This again
could pose serious challenge to competing companies across markets in the
country.
