# Successful marketing – it’s more than a catchy tagline

![Placeholder](https://www.itagmedia.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Images/Placeholder.png?width=1200&height=630&name=Placeholder.png)

 Posted May 28, 2012  |  Written by [David Ligtenberg](https://www.itagmedia.com.au/blog/author/david-ligtenberg)

No matter what stage of business you are in, those that market better dominant their market.  
 How do you do this? A catchy tagline alone does not guarantee success in marketing.  
 Integrated marketing does.

The great thing about integrated marketing is that it works for businesses of all sizes.  
 Integrated marketing means communicating a consistent identity always, in all ways, and  
 everywhere you market yourself.

Business author Steve Mckee says with integrated marketing, "it requires not only the  
 identification of a powerful, unifying strategy and compelling voice for your brand,  
 but the discipline to roll it into every aspect of your organisation—from advertising  
 to sales, customer service to customer relationship management programs (and beyond)".  
 Commit to an integrated marketing approach, have the patience to roll it out,  
 continually, and I guarantee you’ll reap the rewards.
