Abstract

This paper reports exploratory research into the role of the Internet in marketing communications and the conceptualisation of integration and interactivity in this context. Three mini case studies of large companies in the fast moving consumer good industry illustrate the application of frameworks developed for the understanding of integration and interactivity. The case studies show uncertainty about the value of the Internet as a communications channel and the use of interactive tools. The more advanced companies exhibit greater integration of communication tools, across marketing functions and across media. The interactive tools/goals framework developed shows how the more advanced companies also use interactive tools that address a wider range of human motivational goals. This framework suggests how opportunities for value-adding through interactive tools can be identified, giving a basis for further work.
