Communication:
Sending information; information may also be received and this can lead to a change in what the receiver knows, feels and wants to do; ideally there is interaction between participants who send and receive and consequently shape common knowledge, beliefs, values and behavior.

Conceptual thinking:
A mental process in which attributes are combined into a new whole (attribute: characteristic or quality of a thing).
________________________
Corporare Cross-Media:
Integrating the entire marketing-mix – and everything else that could be associated with the organization – in order to express one conceptual proposition, with the objective to create an experience for the individual that will result in a favorable image.
________________________
Creative Concept:
How we tell the proposition to the receiver. (Also see Proposition.)
________________________
Cross-Media
The integration of online and offline media.
Some people say that cross-media is about sending the same message through all offline and online media, but this seems to reduce communication to sheer sending; whereas communication can be seen as a process of sharing information and group-formation – especially relevant in the case of interactive media.
