Digital Marketing Strategies

Digital marketing involves using digital tools to reach and engage with customers and potential customers. It is a critical marketing channel. With the shift in business models, current marketing practices must also be updated. Digital marketing strategies involve the use of search engine optimization (SEO), content marketing, social media marketing, email marketing, display advertising, and more. By leveraging these channels, businesses can increase their marketing productivity as well as visibility and build relationships with target audiences.

Thus, a digital marketing strategy can be used as a guiding document to determine which activities are required to achieve the desired results. This course will offer practical, effective ways to develop and enhance digital marketing strategies for different types of organizations, measure their impact, and familiarize participants with the latest trends in this area.
