'A Reader in Marketing Communications fills a long-standing void in the IMC literature. It does so by providing an excellent overview of the key literature, helpful chapter introductions, important readings in all of the major areas within marketing communication, discussion questions, and case scenarios. This is a much-welcomed book for university students as well as for professionals who want an insightful overview of this important field.' - Charles H.
