How advertising message strategies are set

Abstract This paper examines the advertising message strategy practices of business-to-business advertisers. An integrated message strategy framework was developed from several managerial models to provide a framework for analysis. Results from this study suggest that guidelines from managerial models for message strategy development are not often used to develop business-to-business advertising message strategies. In addition, suggestions for improving strategy decisions are provided.
