2.0 out of 5 stars Covers key issues, yet too many words., 26 May 2002

By A Customer

As with its previous edition, it covers key issues of marketing communications plus new chapters such as interactive, or on-line comms. The book is good in giving examples of real companies, campaigns, strategies, and mini case studies. However, the volume could be reduced by one third......Why use a paragraph when two pages will do!
I also found that many concepts are much better, and more clearly explained in other marketing books from other authors such as Kotler (Marketing Management).

Considering this is the text book for the CIM, it would be helpfull if the book included a guide on how to pass the exam. Furthermore, the book could also incorporate a 'glossary of terms' which you usually find in good marketing books.
I feel far too obligated into buying this book for the CIM exam since the author and the examiner are the same person. Perhaps this is the real lesson of marketing!
Finally I would say that this book is good for reference but the theory is often difficult to undestand and far too long. If you are preparing for the CIM exam, you will definetively need other books to support your learning. If the next edition looks the same, I will definetively not buy the book!
A CIM student.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent comprehensive book, 21 Jan 2007

By	D. A. Cadman (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Marketing Communications: Engagement, Strategies and Practice (Paperback)

I'm currently doing a Marketing Diploma and studying the communications module. There seems to be no escaping Chris Fill's name in this subject area and this book highlights why. Its comprehensive while also far reaching. In addition it is easy reading, with figures, case studies, photos etc to support the theory presented. I would strongly recommend the book for students or professionals wishing to further understand marketing communications tools, frameworks, strategies..... the lot!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Masterpiece!, 27 Jan 2003

By	"sfcordice" - See all my reviews

Not for the first time do I feel privileged to sing merited praises for Chris Fill's outstanding masterpiece - "Marketing Communications: Contexts, Strategies and Applications". The third edition of his book has exceeded my already high expectations.

The book is a well-thought-out, well-written, and rich composition of theories and frameworks, expertly knitted around key real-world challenges of modern day Marketing Communications. Like the first two editions, it's also skilfully structured allowing a reader to peel off affluent strands of distinct marketing topics very easily - the chapter on "Interactive Communication Strategy", providing new insights into the impact of Internet age communication, is an excellent example of this. Moreover, a true acid-test for any published work is, when applied, does it create real-world value? This third edition, as with the first two, has been an excellent blueprint from which I've benefited significantly as a student, consultant and marketing practitioner. To this end, I regard this book as a "written-consultant" providing fresh ideas and bold new thinking about 21st century Integrated Marketing Communications, and from which I can easily extend to deliver innovative solutions for my clients.

I recommend this book to students and practitioners alike, especially those looking for a sound academic underpinning of Integrated Marketing Communications and the theoretical tools to help turn it into economic value. I look forward to future editions of this book with great excitement.
