This document provides an overview of integrated marketing communications planning. It discusses the key steps in the planning process: 1) conducting a context analysis of external, customer, stakeholder, and internal factors; 2) defining promotional objectives; 3) developing a promotional strategy using the 3Ps of push, pull, and profile; 4) coordinating a mix of communications tools including advertising, public relations, personal selling, etc.; 5) implementing the plan using tools like Gantt charts; and 6) controlling and evaluating the plan based on objectives. The overall framework aims to develop an integrated marketing communications plan using strategic analysis and coordination of different promotional methods.
