It is a topic that involves many activities and tools to create awareness at its minimum and sales at its goal.

Digital marketing is a series of online marketing activities and strategies that are used to identify, build, and target an audience. The audience you want to turn into paying customers for the products or services that you offer.

One of the first things I like to do when interviewing a prospect or client for digital marketing, is asking them who their ideal customer is. I ask them to describe them as people. You can’t overestimate how important this seemingly offline activity is to a successful digital marketing program. Knowing who your best customer is and how they behave will help you understand how best to engage with them.
