What Is Digital Marketing? It’s Much More Than Just Social Media

"Digital marketing? You mean managing social media?"

That’s one of the most common questions I get when I talk about my work. And while it's not entirely wrong, the real answer is: yes… and no.

Digital marketing goes far beyond managing social media accounts. It involves the strategic use of all available digital tools to build a strong online presence that reflects your brand’s identity, attracts new customers, and builds loyalty among existing ones.

A solid digital marketing strategy ensures consistency across your business, website, social platforms, and all online communications—whether through organic content or paid advertising.

What Does a Digital Marketing Strategy Include?

Simply put, a digital strategy involves:

• Setting clear, measurable, and realistic goals

• Understanding your target audience (buyer persona)

• Choosing the right digital channels (SEO, social media, email marketing, online ads, etc.)

• Creating valuable and engaging content

• Measuring, analyzing, and optimizing every action

  
  

But as we’ll explore in future posts, there’s a lot of research, planning, creativity, and consistency behind every strategy.
