Tips: The word continuity is often used in marketing to denote consistency between broadcast and print advertising campaigns, as well as all other marketing efforts. Continuity ensures that all parts of a campaign, film, or other venture are unified and cohesive. Continuity is related to the word continue--continuity allows things to continue and be consistent, without interruption. The related adjective congruent means "consistent or compatible." If two things are congruent, they most likely have continuity.
