Digital marketing campaigns - sounds self-explanatory, right? Not quite! At first glance, a digital campaign can sound fairly straightforward, and while it can be at times - there are a lot of components that go into them. While social media is a HUGE part of this, the online sphere expands to all things digital - everything from websites to SEO. From start to finish, a digital campaign has a plethora of elements in play. Before the campaign is even created, it's important to audit current performance in order to determine how you're going to achieve the goal of your campaign. Whether you're wanting to attract new customers, increase sales, or even just improve your business' online presence, understanding what your existing strengths and weaknesses are, as well as what your audience is looking for, is a crucial step before you can even start to brainstorm ideas surrounding your digital campaign.
