One should always remember that, whether it is Marketing, Digital Marketing, or Traditional Marketing there is no exact textbook definition for it. According to their (authors) preferences, they’ve given the definition.

Digital Marketing means “Communicating values digitally with a strategic approach”.

Communicating Values: Values can be anything like Product, S

ervice, Story, or Emotion we should always be communicating with our targeted audience.

With Strategic Approach: If anyone asks why do we need a strategic approach. Let me explain, suppose you are practicing promotional activities and targeting a young audience where he/she would be?

Our young audience where they usually are? In front of the Book or on Social Media? Obviously on Social Media and we have to keep them engaged in Social Media.

Role of a Digital Marketer:

1. Research & Planning (Marketing Campaigns) : Creating a marketing plan is a time-consuming process that entails performing extensive research utilising a range of sources and then integrating that research into a single document that includes a full overview of a company’s target market, rivals, industry trends, and so on.

2. Execution (ACC- Awareness, Consideration & Conversion): The process of putting your marketing plan into action is known as marketing execution. It makes your marketing objectives and strategies come to life. You already know that your marketing strategy serves as a roadmap for selecting, prioritising, planning, and implementing projects that boost your company’s bottom line.

3. Analysis & Improvements: A digital marketing analysis investigates and examines your company, audience, and rivals in order to create a specific, data-driven digital marketing strategy for your organisation. Your organisation can deliver an Internet marketing strategy that speaks to and converts your audience with an online marketing analysis.
