What is digital marketing?

Digital marketing refers to the use of online platforms and technologies to promote products, services, or brands.

This type of marketing allows businesses to connect with potential customers more directly and cost-effectively. By using data and analytics, digital marketing can be highly targeted and personalized, making it easier for companies to measure their success and adjust strategies in real time.
