‘If your business is not the internet, your business will be out of business.’
After the first wave of the internet, now known as Web 1.0, the term Digital Marketing was coined. This was in the early 1990s. But it was only with the advent of Web 2.0, a more interactive version of the internet, that really put Digital Marketing on the map. Web 2.0 paved the way for the innovation of social media platforms and digital marketing hasn’t stopped evolving since.
A generation that lived to experience the third phase of the internet (Web 3.0) emerged and evolved in its life span, need not be given an introduction to digital marketing; an advent that took the internet by storm since the latter part of the ‘90s, and has further expanded since then.
In essence, Digital Marketing encompasses any kind of marketing occurring through the channel of the internet. Whether it is through social media, search engines, or websites, anything and everything that comes under the virtual domain, is what constitutes Digital Marketing.
What simply began as a clickable banner with some text that the users could interact with, has now evolved into one of the main mediums of marketing, and has still not reached its full potential, aggressively overpowering the traditional marketing industry.

Process:
Conceptualisation and Ideation
This is where the creative process is initiated, where our teams are briefed about the brand, the industry it caters to, its targets and requirements; along with the client’s vision and specifics. Here is where it is discussed and decided as to what all mediums of digital marketing is needed in creating the brand’s digital presence, and bridging the gaps in the existing system. A basic blueprint is drafted, which is showcased in a presentable format to the client for reviews and feedback, after which it is worked ahead upon.
Research /Understanding Shadow Brands
This is the phase where after receiving the brief of the brand, the teams delve into researching the brand, to be better equipped to create content for the same. Here is where a deep analysis is conducted using processes such as brand audit, to understand the brand’s position in the industry. Another key aspect that is looked into and studied is the industry itself, the prevailing names in the same, their marketing and advertising strategies, etc., in order to understand what tactics work best in the sector that the brand belongs to, which helps in strategising more effectively and efficiently.
Understanding Target audience
No matter how much a brand is polished or beautified, if it is not rightly catering to its target audience or reaching out to them efficiently, it is doomed for. It is a vital step to find out your target demographic and understand the target audience, what exists and what is to be acquired. This is carried out in this phase. The analytical data pertaining to the consumer demographic is acquired using a range of tools, ranging from the analytics provided by social media platforms to using services like Google analytics, which provides the staff with the required data through which the customer base can be better understood and tend to.
SEO - keyword generation and optimising the website for keywords
When it comes to SEO, one of the key aspects included in the process of optimising a website for search engines, is keywords. Keywords refer to the search terms/queries connected to the brand, industry, or what it offers (product/service); what people type into the search engine to look for the same. It not only aids in generating leads and directing traffic to the website, but also helps in understanding the target audience better and writing content accordingly.
In this phase, keywords are first collected, sorted and prioritised through the procedure of keyword generation. Once the keywords are obtained, they are strategically included in the website through areas such as content, media, links, site structure, URLs, etc. Through this process, the website is optimised for the same.
Content creation (social media posts, videos, emails, blogs)
At this phase of the process, the creation of the content required takes place, as per how it was decided and strategize for the brand; ranging from social media posts, blogs, videos, emails, scripts, etc. Content is curated and designed as per each platform's requirements, keeping in mind aspects such as creating on relevant topics/topicals, inclusion of keywords and hashtags, editing its tone as per need, whether its informative or creative/engaging, making it of the size required, whether it's a one-liner caption to a 300-word blog, among other such things. All in all, the content is curated ensuring that the specific needs of the project and the expectations of a client are fulfilled.
Content dissemination
Efficient and Effective promotion of the content is just as significant as creating it as per the requirements. In this step, the curated content is advertised and promoted in order for it to reach a wide range of potential customers. This is achieved through a variety of methods of distribution, organic in nature, ranging from social media platforms, websites, word-of-mouth, links, etc. Here, the content is ensured to be promoted in a way that it reaches the target audience, and meets the goals that are set.
Content Boosting
Often, the need arises for the brand to further increase its numbers, in terms of reach, and growth. This can be achieved through the process of content boosting, a method of inorganic promotion. Firstly, as per the brand's analytics, algorithms, and the respective platform's limitations, a strategy is framed regarding which aspects of the same require boosting, and in what ways. From here, content is curated that is suitable for boosting, which then is boosted. This process aids in giving the brand advertising the needed push, resulting in reaching a broader audience base and a larger exposure.
Continual Updation
This step is concerned with aspects of digital marketing that require constant updation and upgradation. For example, an online presence is not just established by simply setting up an account on a platform, or by optimising the website at the beginning/once. Consistent work is required for several factors such as gaining new customers, retaining existing ones, increasing the brand reach, visibility, awareness, and so on. No matter the platform, whether it's a social media post or a website, it is a vital step to revisit it from time to time, to stay relevant. It further aids in redirecting the marketing approach so that the brand constantly evolves towards the right direction, targeting the right aspects.
Monitoring & Analysis
This is another step in the process that is repeatedly done over the course of time. This is where the performance of the advertising or marketing strategy is evaluated and examined thoroughly, using either the manual approach, or tools that provide the required analytical data. It is monitored as to how it is doing, and the results it has brought. Customer feedback is a very essential step that can aid in highlighting where the brand needs more work, and what has worked well. This will enable the process of understanding how to improve the results, and in a greater scale, how to enhance the brand holistically.
