Communications is a superset of Marketing. Or, equivalently, you could also say Marketing is a subset of Communications. Or I suppose it would be even clearer to say that not all Communications is Marketing, but all Marketing is Communications. At any rate, I’d argue that Marketing is all the Communications leading toward a Sale. Whereas Communication could be anything from facts and figures to the stuff scribbled on your office whiteboard.
