About half of the client respondents and a few from the agency side claim that they use
their own proprietary frameworks of implementing IMC within their organisations.
These frameworks correspond to the philosophies of marketing purported by client

include consumer understanding, business scenario and analysis, brand fundamentals,
marketing and communications strategies and tactics implemented at all levels and
functions within the organisation, budget allocations and measurement metrics.
