Abstract

This study examined the degree to which integrated marketing communication(IMC) might be manifested in South Korean television advertising. Using a framework by Nowak and Phelps(1994), this study investigated the degree of IMC utilization by service organizations and physical goods manufacturers at the advertisement level. The Result showed that 44.6% of the television ads were classified as integrated marketing communication according to criteria discussed by Nowak and Phelps(1994). More specifically, approximately 90.7% of the integrated ads achieved this status by using two communication tools of different orientations. In addition, the most common form of IMC at this lowest level consisted of an image-oriented(brand advertising) and a behavior-oriented(direct response) communication tool. The second common form of IMC, that is, 9.3%, used three different communication tools; they consisted of an image-oriented tool(brand advertising) and the two behavior-oriented(i.e., direct response and sales promotion) communication tools. Nothing of the magazine ads used all four tools. Thus, South Korean television ads exhibited higher degrees of IMC which tended to include more behavior-oriented communication tools than image-oriented communication tools. These results indicate that much higher chances for advertisers to expand the level of IMC will be existed. Furthermore, the results suggest that significantly higher as well as a wider variety of communication tools are being used by advertisers, considering the limit of samples investigated in this research.

본 연구는 광고차원에서 국내 TV광고에 사용된 IMC 정도를 파악하고, 제품유형에 따라 어떠한 차이를 보이는지 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 Nowak와 Phelps(1994)의 IMC 모델을 채택하여 총 411편의 TV광고를 내용 분석한 결과, 통합광고의 비중은 44.6%(183편)로 인쇄매체 광고를 대상으로 한 기존연구의 결과에 비해 낮게 나타났다. 제품유형에 따른 차이에서는 서비스광고(56.8%)가 상품광고(44.2%)에 비해 약간 높게 나타났다. 이는 국내 기존의 연구에서 상품광고가 서비스광고에 비해 통합의 정도가 높다는 결과와는 다소 차이가 있으나 해외 선행연구를 지지하는 것이다. 나아가 제품유형에서 통합의 유형은 이미지지향의 브랜드광고와 행동지향의 직접반응 수단을 채택하고 있는 가장 낮은 차원이었다. 본 차원에서는 서비스광고(92.2%)가 제품광고(88.9%)에 비해 약간 높게 나타났으나, 한 단계 더 높은 차원의 통합유형에서는 제품광고(11.1%)가 서비스광고(7.8%)보다 약간 높게 나타났다. 주로 사용된 커뮤니케이션 수단은 브랜드광고와 직접반응, 판매촉진의 순으로 나타났다. TV매체의 제품광고 내 PR 수단은 거의 사용되고 있지 않았다. 또 통합의 가장 높은 차원인 4개의 커뮤니케이션 수단이 동시에 사용된 광고는 전무했다. 이러한 결과는 광고주에게 현재 자사 TV광고에 나타난 IMC 차원을 확대하기 위한 또 다른 가능성을 제시하고 있을 뿐 아니라, 자사 광고에 보다 다양한 커뮤니케이션 수단의 도입가능성과 광고의 혼잡도를 극복할 수 있는 차별화된 TV광고 제작에 유용하게 사용될 것으로 기대된다.
