3) What are the characteristics of a successful marketing communication plan or campaign?
4) Discuss the marketing communication planning of a chosen company.

 First of we'll start by defining what is a marketing communication plan. Marketing communication helps to develop brand awareness, which means that consumers translate product information into perceptions about the product’s attributes and its position within the larger market. Businesses also use marketing communication to retain the product’s current customer base, and to cement relationships with customers and suppliers, notes "Reference for Business." Marketing communication strategy defines the business’s plan for product information dissemination and brand awareness development. (Chron)

I am planning a holiday and I have narrowed down all the travel agencies to four that I trust. Because of a bad experience from my sister one is immediately dropped. I decide to start with Finnmatkat so I type in www.finnmatkat.fi. To my surprise I end up at www.tui.fi. After some research I discover that Finnmatkat has just changed their name to TUI.
