Digital marketing encompasses all aspects and activities of marketing an organization, business, or brand across digital channels on the internet. Digital marketing strategies and tactics are crafted to target specific online audiences across a variety of internet-connected devices.

Digital marketing includes optimization across search engines (the likes of Google and Bing), visibility and engagement on social media platforms, email marketing communications, website design and development and integrated applications to connect and engage with prospects and customers.

A digital marketer is a marketing specialist who understands how to develop and deploy effective marketing strategies online. A digital marketer understands connecting with an online audience. They can ensure your brand engages with your consumer from the first point of contact through after-sales service.

Every single brand has to have an online representation of the business. However, your digital footprint won't have any impact if you don't market it successfully. Every business would benefit from an ongoing, comprehensive digital marketing strategy and the support of an expert marketing team.

Digital marketing is cost-effective in that you can get your message directly in front of your ideal audience. Consider that traditional marketing casts a wide net across the general public. In contrast, digital marketing takes a targeted approach and engages the consumer with the right message at the right time. You can measure your digital marketing efforts and the costs involved quite easily and mitigate unnecessary spending. This is far more difficult with traditional marketing campaigns. What's more, the costs involved with hiring a digital marketing agency are dependent on the project scope.
