Abstract
The course aims at teaching students basic marketing tools in integrated communications. The concept of integrated marketing communications involves the solution of interrelated tasks: 1) creation of a system of communicative messages using various means of mass communication, which were coordinated with each other, forming a single favorable image of the communicator and his subject of marketing; 2) search for optimal combinations of basic and synthetic means of mass communications, as well as individual techniques and tools for each of these means; 3) elimination of contradictions between certain types of marketing messages in order to have a stronger impact on the client; 4) savings of funds that within the framework of the IMC should be used strictly within the framework of the ongoing communication campaign
