Digital marketing includes a number of techniques, each of which is of particular importance and very effective. Usually, we use multiple channels, but not more than three in a 6-month campaign.
This is because we need to identify which channel is proving to be the most successful in realizing client’s business goals such as converting leads and increasing sales.

What we need to know and do? The Steps
1.Business information
The very first step is a complete website audit and analysis to identify gaps, errors, and get to know the business in details. Close communication and collaboration with the client to understand the core message that their brand wants to spread to their audience.

The second step is to identify the main business goals, what we want to achieve through our campaign. Some of the goals may be:
- Conversion Rate Improvement
- Website Traffic
- Online Visibility Improvement
- Brand Awareness Increase
- Revenue Generation
- Boost Sales
- Build Buyer Personas
Once we have set Goals, we try to work to build Buyer Personas in order to understand the audience to which we will market/advertise our products/services. We do this by collecting Quantitative and Qualitative information through research that comprises a mixture of prospects, customers, and people that have a connection with the target audience.

Once we have understood the nature of the business, identified the client’s objectives and goals, made an analysis and found out who are the people that we’re going to target in our marketing campaign, we focus on developing the strategies that we will use.
Our digital marketing experts decide which are the most suitable channels for the respective business and draw up a detailed plan for the steps that we will undertake during the various phases of the campaign.
- Define Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Analytics are everything we need when it comes to measuring our results and identifying what’s working and what’s not. We constantly monitor weekly, monthly progress of our campaign and use metrics to identify Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in order to improve the techniques that produce positive outcomes for our clients.
