Digital marketing is the targeted and measurable promotion of brands online using digital technologies to reach customers. It involves various tactics like search engine optimization (SEO), social media marketing, content marketing, and more. A digital marketing strategy is important for several reasons: without clear goals, a company risks being directionless online and losing market share to competitors that devote more resources to digital. A strategy also helps a company understand its online customers and value proposition better in order to optimize its digital efforts.
