INTRODUCTION:
The communication mix is made up of a set of tools that when used in various combinations and used at different degrees can create intensity for the target market audience. The media also plays a very big part in the way the marketing has transformed itself over the last 100 years. The marketing tools and the media should not be confused as they both play different roles in the communication mix, and they try to achieve different goals.
This paper hopes to discuss the communication tools and the ways in which they can be used to promote the goals and objectives of the company. The paper will also discuss the media and the effects that its role has played in the field of marketing. The paper will also review how new technological advances can affect the way marketing is done. Marketing itself is a line of communication that is opened between the company and the public. Companies use marketing as a means to create awareness and promote but also to build an image. The image that is built must be able to identify with the needs and wants of the customers.
