Any company or brand, be it a product, service or experience marketing needs to innovate on a continuous basis in order to remain relevant to changing market needs. The innovation may be in product features, attributes, or elements of the company’s value proposition. The innovation then needs to be communicated to the target customers through appropriate integrated marketing communications systems. In the business of marketing communication ideas are the sole currency. The process of creating demand for a given product or service boils down to: coming up with an idea that will get the target consumer to believe in the value proposition of the marketer. Customers today are not only smarter and better informed they also have at their disposal a variety of sources of information and tools for collecting information about products and services. The marketer today has to design a communication strategy that monitors and takes into account the entire range of media options available to the customer. This requires the marketer to come with innovative communication ideas that will convince the customers of the superiority of the company’s value proposition as against all substitutes and competitors offerings. That is the only way how demand for a company’s brands can be created, developed and maintained.
