IMC in this model represents the development of integrated marketing communication to achieve stated brand and communication objectives, and provides the bridge between brand strategy and actions taken to build the necessary customer and stake-holder relationships. In doing so, IMC draws on the cultural predisposition to work cooperatively, leveraging the market-and customer-sensing mechanisms of the organization to de-vise message and media strategies. Furthermore, it adopts an informed zero-based approach to choosing the appropriate tools for the communication task and is also linked to brand and target-market history through the learning mechanisms of a market- and brand-oriented organization (Stewart 1996).
