DIGITAL MARKETING

Digital marketing is any marketing effort or activity that is performed via online channels that drives a message to a targeted audience. These channels include search engines (primarily Google), social media (such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter among others), email as well as online marketplaces, forums and even directories.

Typically, digital marketing efforts drive user intent and action towards a website or specific landing page where a conversion – defined either a sale or lead enquiry – takes place.

By our standards, digital marketing has to drive measurable results, so that improvements and refinements can be constantly made to maximise ROI for the business. Any digital marketing campaign that does not end with a well-defined and measurable call-to-action (CTA) is not a good one and should not be carried out to begin with. Otherwise, it is simply a waste of time and resources.
