All these elements can be integrated into your digital marketing strategy. I’ll share how to leverage your business resources to create a campaign plan that delivers tangible results. Let’s first define what a digital marketing campaign entails.A digital marketing campaign is a sequence of online promotional tactics designed to expand your business’s online and/or offline presence. These campaigns encompass both paid and organic strategies.Unpaid strategies are often labeled “organic,” whereas paid strategies require financial investment.Common strategies within a digital marketing campaign plan include:
SEO services
Digital advertising
Content marketing
Email marketing
Social media marketing
Web design
And more!
Details on these strategies will be covered shortly.The primary objective of your digital marketing campaigns is typically business growth, though the specific approach varies by company. Some may aim to boost website traffic, while others may prioritize conversions as a key performance indicator (KPI). This video will delve into setting campaign goals, so stay tuned.It’s crucial to create a plan for your online marketing campaign before initiating it, unless you’re opting for professional digital marketing campaign management. Planning is essential, as it aligns your efforts with your brand and goals, preventing disjointed campaigns and overspending. Let’s start with the basics.1. Decide whether to hire an agency or work in-houseShould your marketing be managed by an external agency, an in-house team, or perhaps a combination of both? Each option has its merits and drawbacks. Agencies offer expertise from diverse campaigns, access to costly software, and the flexibility to add new services without additional training or hiring. However, they may be geographically distant and have less control over daily tasks. A good agency maintains transparent processes to keep you informed and demonstrate how your budget is driving results. An in-house team provides accessibility, complete control, and focused attention on your business but may require significant time and resources, including software costs, salaries, and training. If you choose an agency, the remaining steps in this video can be managed by their team, though it’s still beneficial to be aware of them.Bonus video: Weighing the pros and cons of an agency and an in-house team2.
