What is Digital Marketing?

As the world gets more used to living life online, digital marketing is one of the most proficient and effective tools in a business’ arsenal for engaging customers and securing sales of products or services. All of the biggest businesses in the world harness digital marketing to catch the attention of a target audience and to get their brand noticed by all the right people.

Modern digital marketing encompasses a number of different areas such as SEO strategy, Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising, content marketing and PR campaigns – all of these disciplines form an overall digital marketing approach that connects businesses with their audiences in increasingly innovative ways. Obtaining a position at a digital marketing agency or as a digital marketer is more often than not a matter of combining experience and education to get started on a marketing career path.
