The Ultimate Digital Marketing Bootcamp

SEO is the work of being retrievable and worth retrieving: legible to the systems that crawl, index and select sources, and useful enough at the moment of the query that somebody still opens the page instead of accepting the answer printed above it.

Marketing automation is software that sends a decided message when a contact does a decided thing, which makes it a delivery mechanism for judgements somebody has already formed rather than a way of avoiding them.

Digital marketing is the trade name for every commercial activity that reaches a buyer through a screen, gathered under one heading because the work is bought, delivered and counted through the same few platforms rather than because the activities resemble one another.

Data visualisation is the practice of encoding numbers as position, length and colour so that a comparison a reader would otherwise have to calculate becomes something they can simply see.

Data engineering is the discipline of moving records from the systems that produce them into a store where they can be queried, and of keeping that supply correct while the sources underneath keep changing.

SQL is the declarative language for asking questions of relational databases: you state which rows and columns you want and how tables relate, and the database engine works out how to retrieve them.
