Why is digital marketing important?

The web is the most fertile ground for the development of new businesses and the growth of existing ones. Yet, despite increasing opportunities in the digital space, many organisations (profit and non-profit) are still behind in making the transition from more traditional, offline forms of engaging with their target market, to digital marketing. 

Marketing, and in particular digital media marketing, is an exciting and rapidly developing field of study that offers excellent employment prospects and exciting careers. Digital transformation is key to the survival of many, many businesses. The massive growth of social media and mobile marketing in recent years means that marketers need a knowledge base and a strong skillset that is digital.

If the Covid-19 crisis has taught us anything it is that digital is the route to resilience. Yet, many companies have fallen short in their evolution, and failed to deliver the level of innovation required, and a significant digital marketing skills gap continues to exist.
