From the Paper:
"Microsoft has done a professional job with its previous marketing and communication campaigns. It has focused on its corporate social responsibility and on the concept of innovation. The former campaigns have used integrated themes and a multiplicity of media which were very well coordinated. The future communication campaign is meant to underline other characteristics of the brand, making it more popular among the target segment represented by young people (Griffiths, J., 2002). The recommendation concerns the coordination and the synchronization of the PR and advertising actions. A further recommendation regards the monitoring of the actions which is fundamental for the coherence of the entire campaign."Sample of Sources Used:
