Digital Marketing Strategies, delivered

In a nutshell, digital marketing is marketing done “online”, such as on social media channels, email, search engines, and websites, to promote your products and services, engage and nurture key prospects, and deliver marketing goals.  They are omni-channel, multi-touch campaigns that work together across channels to meet marketing objectives including demand generation and brand awareness goals.  Digital marketing is also key to successful nurture strategies and ABM motions.
