What is Digital Marketing?

Digital Marketing is marketing for the modern connected consumer. New and emerging digital technologies have changed the face of marketing as businesses and brands now recognise the value of having an active on-line presence to reach new customers alongside their off-line marketing activities. Marketing is the discipline of understanding how and why consumers buy products and services and using those insights to satisfy consumer wants and needs. Digital Marketing combines traditional marketing with the latest digital tools and media to help businesses reach, connect and promote their products to a wider audience using strategies that inform, captivate and engage.
