The changing role of the customer in the digital age is attracting the attention from leaders, marketers, investors and researchers.

Firms in competitive markets are increasingly trying to bring brands closer to customers’ everyday life!

Digital provides multiple opportunities to connect and engage with prospects as well as customers in several ways. However, several businesses falter while developing their strategies to guide their digital investments and efforts to continuously enhance customers’ experiences.

And finally, you will explore the Digital Marketing Strategy to set your fundamentals right with discussions and analysis of frameworks and applications.
