The following dissertation provides an examination of the contribution of maintaining an integrated marketing communication to build and support the brands. In build up to the objective of the text, several concepts are sufficiently oriented.

With the dynamism characterizing the present competitive market, maintaining a competitive differentiation through brands lies as an invaluable approach to survive the short-term market volatility and attain long-term presence in the market. Firstly, the key determinants influencing the consumer behavior are scrutinized in detail to provide a fundamental approach to understand the consumer's purchasing decision.
