The importance of an integrated marketing program

Although publications remain the most trusted source of information, an integrated marketing program that includes online
display advertising as well as e-newsletters, white papers and webcast sponsorships, strengthens the effectiveness of your
campaign and drives leads.
Partnering print advertising with all major media will optimize the effectiveness of an integrated program.
The importance of digital and online brand awareness and lead generation campaigns continues to grow. However, combining
the power of print with other channels creates by far the most impactful integrated program.
