This study integrates the histories, literatures, and practices around corporate communication and integrated marketing communication to demonstrate the significance and implications of their integral capacities. Acknowledging the technological web that has come to shape and define the communicative landscape, this project advocates for the unification of these two strategic communication practices and by doing so, opens new communicative possibilities grounded in communication ethics. Beyond current audiences, approaches, and applications, the authors amplify constructive, effective, and fitting communication practices that shepherd us forward into a new and complex future. -- Annette M.
