Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) is a communications process that entails the planning, creation, integration and implementation of diverse forms of marketing communications (advertisements, sales promotions, publicity releases, events, etc) that are delivered over time to a brands targeted customers and prospects. The goal of IMC is ultimately to influence or directly affect the behaviour of the targeted audience. IMC considers all sources of contact that a customer / prospect has with the brand as potential delivery channels for messages and makes use of all communications methods that are relevant to customers /prospects and to which they might be receptive. IMC requires that all of a brands communication media and messages deliver a consistent message. The IMC process further necessitates that the customer / prospect is the starting point for determining the types of messages and channels that will serve best to inform, persuade and induce action.

Crosby explained only in acting through themselves and living freely do persons come alive subjectively. Subjectivity is the relation of person to themselves as subject, which establishes the interiority of the person’s existence. He split subjectivity into two fundamentals: self-presence and self-determinism. Self-presence is knowing one is conscious and intentionally being conscious of some external object(s). The more self-presence one has equates to a greater ability to enter the object outside of oneself. Others help one find their self-presence. One can also discover more of their self-presence by objectifying or looking at themselves as others see them. Self-determination is experiencing oneself because of their own free choices/decisions. One’s conscience admonishes them when they are making choices which metaphorically “derail them.” Persons determine who they are and what they want to become from their innermost center. Immediate self-determinism says what one does has an immediate effect on them
When a business aims to be as successful as possible in selling its products and services, it must examine in detail whether or not the products will be attractive and necessary; if the price is optimal; if the product is being distributed in the best locations; and finally, how interest and awareness can be created for the products.

Several facts are changing in today’s marketing communications. More companies adopt the new concept of integrated marketing communications (IMC) to convey a consistent message about their brand and products. Hence, IMC has played a powerful role and developed into a useful strategy for company to reach more customers and build good customer relationships. According to Herstein et al. (2008), IMC is one of a successful strategy that coordinates and integrates all of marketing communication tools to efficiently and economically influence between an organization and its existing and potential customers. Moreover, marketers can combine IMC tools (advertising, sale promotion, personal selling, direct marketing and public relations) rather than separate practices to create values and avoid potential conflicts (Duncan & Everett, 1993). In fast food industry, fast food chains integrate advertising, sale promotion, sponsorship, packaging and Internet to promote their products as well as build brand image (Sperber, 2003; Story & French, 2004; Morrison, 2010).

In addition, simple toys and products are typically used by fast food chains in children’s meal to attract children and adolescents.

To clarify that, the first most important aspect is informing people which means company needs to enhance the awareness of the consumer about their products by mentioning its advantages and features. Advertising also affect the products in two ways. Firstly, by basic demand, which build consumer desires for old products of the company and secondly, refers to a new brand of the company. In addition, effective advertising can retain consumer’s mind fresh about the image of a brand which develops the trace of the memory where consumers have to choose between two or more products.
