#3 No one discipline should own a specific media channel
• Mass advertising is more than TV• And direct marketing is more than just mail

Integration and optimization
• Integration does not mean executing a campaign across multiple media for uncertain “synergies”
• We optimize performance by reinvesting in media that drive results and dropping those that don’t
A + B + C + D + E = ?
D > E > A > C > B
