Abstract
With the continuous enhancement of the standard of living, customers are more and more selective in baby care products. To stand out from other brands and maintain long-term connections with consumers, many companies have taken advantage of various marketing tools. This paper mainly focuses on the brand Pampers and the integrated marketing communication tools used by it. The goal is to analyze and evaluate IMC’s effectiveness in helping Pampers achieve a close relationship with its customers. This paper employs thematic analysis to study the cases of Pampers’ marketing campaigns in three dimensions: digital content marketing, cause marketing, and event marketing. The qualitative data mainly comes from research journal articles from diverse databases including Google Scholar and ProQuest One Business. The result of this paper shows that as a consequence of integrating the three main marketing strategies IMC can efficiently build tight connections between brands and customers through increasing interactive engagement, appealing emotional resonance, and delivering shared values.
