    In what context? It could be a few things, the most likely of which is IMC (integrated marketing communications.) It basically involves having all the elements of your marketing mix singing off the same hymn sheet, i.e. if you have one firm making your advertisements and another in charge of promoting (eg. free samples of) your product, an IMC plan entails making sure that they move in the same direction with the same goals and brand image etc.
    Any help?
    (ironically, i'm in a lecture on IMC right now!)
