Finding The Right Digital Marketing Agency For Your Business
What Is A Digital Marketing Agency?
A digital marketing agency denotes a business, i.e. a company that provides digital marketing services to their clients.
Unlike traditional marketing and advertising companies, a digital marketing agency focuses on reaching online audiences using digital platforms and tools, as well as developing strategies based on in-depth user behavior data and analytics.
The typical services these agencies provide are:
Content marketing strategy & management
Social media management
Social media advertising
Paid search / SEM
SEO
Email marketing management
Affiliate marketing
Influencer marketing
Native advertising
(Digital) PR
And more
A digital agency is similar to a digital marketing agency. However, in addition to providing marketing services, they also provide services in web design, branding, and other areas outside of marketing but still relevant to business growth.
Digital Marketing Agency vs. Digital Advertising Agency
The fields of digital marketing and digital advertising tend to overlap often and to a degree that makes it difficult to set any clear boundaries between them.
You can view digital advertising, and - with it - the services a digital advertising agency provides to their clients, as the development and delivery of advertising campaigns for online audiences.
As such, digital advertising marries data and tech with creativity.
Some of the services that would fall within the scope of digital advertising are:
Display ads: Data analysis, data-based campaign conceptualization, design, deployment, performance tracking and optimization
Social ads: Similarly to display ads, digital advertising agencies devise social media campaigns based on the target audience behavior
PPC and other forms of paid ads including social
In reality, most digital marketing agencies will include these digital advertising services in their offering.
Digital marketing is usually viewed as a broader strategy that ties all the digital branding, lead generation and customer relationship building initiatives under its wing.
Top digital marketing agencies develop expertise in a few particular branches of digital marketing. Some even develop industry-specific expertise.
As a result, these companies’ offering will differ and your perfect outsourcing partner will specialize in just the type of services you need.
