Digital marketing is any kind of marketing that is geared towards smartphones, laptops, tablets and basically any other device that is capable of connecting to Wi-Fi. Traditional marketing will focus on radio, TV, print and film, whereas when it comes to digital marketing we want to be thinking about apps, websites, blogs, social media, email and online content.

YES YES YES. You don’t have to replace your traditional marketing efforts with digital ones, but it is 2019 and if the word digital doesn’t come into your marketing strategy then your business will not thrive. It really is as simple as that.

Success is measured using the same metrics you use for any other marketing activity: traffic, leads, and customers. Counting the number of fans or followers you have can help you understand your social media reach, but the bottom line that determines its success is how many people it drives to your site, how many of them are qualified leads, and how many of them actually become customers.

The more prevalent and unique a brand is, the more recognition and loyalty it earns. And recognition + loyalty = profit. Part of maintaining and protecting a brand’s distinctiveness is the consistent use of its core elements, which include logos, colors, typography, mascots, taglines and advertising style.
