The article summarises the approaches to the classification of innovative marketing communications used within the development of modern trends in the promotion of goods/services. The main goal of the study is to systematise and determine the prospects of innovative marketing communications used in Ukrainian and foreign markets. The systematisation of the literature on and approaches to solving the problem of the development of marketing communications has revealed that, despite the existence of a certain body of scientific and theoretical studies, there is a need to study a set of tools of this category, which are typical of both foreign and Ukrainian markets. The relevance of solving the scientific problem is that the modern role of marketing communications is a priority component of the success of both the entire marketing system and performance indicators of businesses, and the study of their current trends is necessary for improving market positions. The article studies systematisation and identification of the prospects of innovative marketing communications in the following logical order: description of approaches to the communications in Ukrainian and foreign markets; defining the prospects of their development and use. The methodological tools of the research included the system approach method and the method of trends. The study focuses on the years 2021–2022. The US and some European countries (including Ukraine) were chosen as the object of the study, since these countries were the focus of the existing scientific analysis of the studied issues. The article presents the results of an empirical analysis of the implementation of innovative marketing communications, which proved that the foreign market trends are generally similar to Ukrainian ones. The study empirically confirms and theoretically proves that countries that have an active business environment, even in case of a developing economy, quite effectively implement the latest approaches to the management of marketing communications, because their composition and level of efficiency affect economic and market results. The results of the study can be useful for Ukrainian businesses to apply in practice in terms of choosing optimal marketing communications as well as for scientists in the context of the development of scientific research and studying the current state of the issue under study.
