About This Course
SummaryDigital marketing is the use of digital platforms such as the internet to deliver branded communication to potential consumers. It involves a wide range of different techniques which are aimed at promoting a brand and its benefits to an audience, in the same way that radio and TV marketing work, only through the internet. Social media marketing is a particular facet of digital marketing which has gained a lot of attention in recent years thanks to its potential impact.
Social media is the name given to describe a website or application which allows users to create and share content with each other through the internet. Social media has become one of the most popular ways people spend their time online, with major platforms such as Facebook and others attracting millions of daily active users and forming a large percentage of total internet traffic. It's the large audiences of social media sites, along with the features designed for creating and sharing content, that make them so appealing for marketers.
A brand can use social media to boost its reach and engage with new audiences in new markets, increasing their overall brand awareness and bringing an increase in sales. With the fast growth of the internet and the fact that there are now billions of people online, digital and social media marketing have rapidly grown in significance. Today, these platforms can be used in a variety of different ways to improve the image of a brand and help a company to reach its target demographics.
In the world of sports, digital and social media have been used to connect fans in their love of their favourite sports, teams and athletes. Sports marketers have also made the most of these platforms to appeal to sports fans and associate brands with major sports teams and sporting moments. Brands that want to stay ahead of the competition need to be able to adapt and pick up new techniques and ideas.
