A practical, modern framework for joining up every part of your marketing, from first touch to final conversion, across every channel your customer uses.

🔗

The POETIC framework

A six-part model covering Paid, Owned, Earned, Technical, Insights and Creative. The foundation of a modern integrated strategy.

🔧

Data integration

Server-side tracking, conversion APIs and joining up CRM, MAS and advertising platforms so your data flows end to end.

Audits and planning

How to audit what you already have, leverage existing assets, break down silos and plan a strategy teams can actually execute.

🏢

Marketing Managers

Heads of Marketing and Marketing Directors looking for a clear framework to align teams, channels and measurement without reinventing the wheel.

💼

Business Owners

Founders and MDs who want to understand how integrated marketing actually works, what to ask of their team or agency, and where the real returns come from.

💻

Digital Specialists

Paid media, SEO, social, email and analytics practitioners who want to broaden beyond their own channel and contribute to a joined-up strategy.

What makes this guide different

Most marketing books are written by theorists, consultants or platform specialists who only know their own slice. This one is written by a practitioner who has spent 20 years running integrated campaigns across every channel for real clients with real budgets.

It answers the questions marketers and business owners actually ask:

  • How do I join up my paid, organic and email?
  • What should I measure and what should I ignore?
  • How do I break down the silos in my team?
  • Where is the real return on my marketing spend?

The POETIC framework

At the heart of the book is POETIC, a six-part model for structuring an integrated marketing strategy. It gives you a shared language across your team and a clear way to audit, plan and measure every piece of activity:

PaidSearch, social, display, marketplaces
OwnedWebsite, email, CRM, content
EarnedPR, organic search, reviews, advocacy
TechnicalTracking, tag management, integrations
InsightsAnalytics, attribution, audience data
CreativeBrand, messaging, assets, optimisation

Every section of the book maps back to POETIC, so you can see exactly where a given tactic fits and how it connects to the rest of your activity.

Online and offline, joined up

Too many marketing books pretend offline does not exist. This one does not. It covers search, social, display, marketplaces, traditional media and hybrid approaches that use digital to amplify physical touchpoints. Because real customers do not live in one channel, and neither should your strategy.

  • Multi-channel touchpoints – understand the full journey, not just the last click
  • Breaking down silos – get PPC, SEO, social, email and CRM teams working to the same plan
  • Creative consistency – use the same brand, message and assets across every channel

Written in the age of privacy and AI

This is not a book recycled from a 2010 blog post. Ann wrote Integrate in response to GDPR, the loss of third-party cookies, the shift to server-side tracking and conversion APIs, and the way customer journeys fragment across mobile, desktop, voice and AI assistants.

Everything is grounded in what actually works for Anicca Digital’s clients today. Every framework has been tested in the field. Every checklist is the kind of thing the Anicca team uses on live campaigns, not a theoretical exercise.
