Value of this exercise

Digital marketing is a scalable, cost-effective medium that allows organizations to strengthen their product brands, engage with customers, influencers and opinion leaders, and sell their products and services through their websites and e-commerce. There are low barriers to entry, yet digital marketing can provide complex and informative data about customers, their level of engagement, and purchase behavior. Used in combination with traditional forms of marketing, marketing managers in the real-world, are discovering powerful opportunities to expand their reach, deepen customer relationships and accelerate the product-development to purchase cycle.
