Because of the increasing internet use, print media is under significant threat. As part of its transformation, a media company deployed an Integrated Marketing Solution (IMS) to address current business challenges. This method, however, requires further investigation. As a result, this study aims to assess the utility of IMS, analyze the implementation of the McKinsey 7S Framework on IMS, and identify McKinsey 7S Framework aspects in IMS for future development. In-depth interviews with 12 people were conducted for this qualitative study. The findings indicate that IMS is the core of the company's business transformation, with all components of the McKinsey 7S Framework in place. However, the shared value component is still required.
