As a Digital Marketing Manager/Executive, the professional is responsible for researching, strategizing, implementing, and analysing digital marketing projects in collaboration with social media and branding managers. These are management-level positions in the industry that require professionals to remain updated about recent trends that may support them with meeting company goals.
An online business owner treats websites and social media platforms as the main marketplace. E-Business owners may not necessarily own physical shops and offices and operate primarily online.
A social media manager focuses on handling an organisation’s social media platforms and implement action plans that include both – organic and paid digital marketing. Social media managers are also responsible for conducting market research and analysing the success of their projects on a regular basis to consistently improve the outcomes of digital marketing.
The key responsibility of a brand manager is to create brand identity, grow brand awareness and communicate the organisation’s values through branding. While branding is a part of offline marketing as much as it is of online marketing. The current business trends demand that brand presence remains consistent online since the internet provides the opportunity to reach a wider audience.
