What is Digital Marketing?

Digital marketing is a marketing initiative that encompasses all online marketing efforts to promote brand awareness, drive lead conversions, and retain customer loyalty for a business through digital channels. Digital channels can include the company’s website, social media platforms, email marketing, blogs, display ads, SMS, paid search ads, and paid social advertising. According to Global Industry Analysts Inc., (GIA), the compound annual growth rate of digital marketing from 2020-2026 is projected at 9%, and HubSpot recently reported 63% of businesses have increased their digital marketing budgets just this past year. Why does this matter? This signifies every brand needs a solid website and social media presence for better visibility and to engage with perspective and current customers.

Essential Skills Digital Marketers Need to Know:

  • Effective Communication: Understand the target customer’s pain points and how to address them in verbal and written formats across channels.
  • Social Media Marketing (SMM): Use social media platforms to build brand awareness and engage with your audience.
  • Search Engine Marketing (SEM): Gain online visibility and traffic through paid ads on search engines like Google Ads and Bing Ads.
  • Content Strategy & Creation: Possess the creative insight and analytical thinking to formulate content for marketing campaigns and execute related writing tasks.
  • Design Basics: Work with graphic designers to create award-winning creatives that reflect brand guidelines while boosting engagement and lead conversion.
  • Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Optimizing your content to improve search engine rankings. 
  • Data Analysis: Analyze customer, financial, and operational marketing data through tools such as SEMRush to understand the market and competition in order to improve marketing strategies. The goal is to see what types of content best drive conversations and sales.
  • Marketing Automation: Create automated tasks using a CRM to nurture online visitors to better find qualified leads and save time and expenses. 
  • Branding: Understand a company’s brand guidelines and/or help to create branding guidelines that reflect appearance, mission, values, and personality.

Why is Digital Marketing Important?

Marketing is a social science, even psychology sometimes. It’s about relationships between people and showing that your product and/or service can solve customer problems. Digital marketing helps you choose the right digital channels of interaction with your audience and builds online relationships with your client, whether it’s a website, social media networks, email, or video. In fact, digital ads can increase brand awareness by a whopping 80%. Digital Marketing is not just one ad — it’s a whole journey.

Digital marketing offers complete control of ad spend and is more cost-effective than outbound marketing methods. For instance, outbound marketing techniques like using display ads and billboards will cost you the same ad spend, even if they don’t perform well and lead to higher sales. On the other hand, digital marketing and associated analysis tools like SEMRush enables marketers to track daily campaign performance and determine ROI on ad spend. In turn, marketing agencies can easily pivot and make minute changes to optimize results. This levels the playing field and offers a unique opportunity for smaller brands with limited budgets to compete with major brands by investing in strategies like SEO best practices, blogging, and social media marketing.

What’s more, major benefits of digital marketing include personalization and refinement opportunities, measurable results, and increased customer engagement. It enables businesses to identify and target specific audiences to send personalized messaging and engage with audiences at each stage of the funnel. Businesses can reach a larger target audience to engage with prospective and loyal customers.
