Abstract
In order to compete successfully in today's marketplaces, businesses must develop
internal channels of marketing communication that effectively unify the company's
efforts in communicating with all of its stakeholders. Businesses, especially those in the
B2B sector, are increasingly emphasizing distinctiveness and one-to-one marketing,
leading some to believe that mass communication or mass media are losing their place in
the marketing communication mix. Research, however, reveals that their efficacy is not
dwindling, and may even be growing, in some parts of the marketing communication
mix. Our primary data clearly confirms the tremendous significance of mass
communication or mass media for the marketing efforts of industrial organizations.
This article defines, examines, and evaluates the mass media and mass media's potential
roles in the many components of industrial enterprises' marketing communication mixes.
This report details the findings of a primary qualitative study of chemical product
manufacturers in the Czech Republic. Methods for improving the efficacy of marketing
communication through mass communication and the mass media were also discovered
based on in-depth interviews with corporate marketing managers. Modern technology for
communication and modes of communication, which are typically overlooked in B2B
practice, received special attention. However, they have a great deal of promise for the
years to come. The study's findings provide valuable input into efforts to improve B2B
marketing communication mix instruments.
