Boost your business success by adopting a digital strategy

What is a digital marketing strategy and do you have one for your business?

In our next Scale-Up masterclass, we will explore how a digital strategy can benefit your business, and walk you through how to create one.

A digital strategy is a plan of action which establishes goals to focus marketing activity and clearly outline tactical steps. Without a plan or strategy, it’s hard to choose which online platforms and channels to use or how to connect with your online audience.

A digital strategy should be the first piece of work that you do, before undertaking any digital marketing activity. In this masterclass, delegates will learn what exactly a digital strategy is, and the different documents that should be created.

Firstly, the workshop will focus on defining your objectives and identifying your target audience, and your competitors. Once your business objectives have been clarified, the facilitator will help you assign the most effective digital marketing tactics against each one.

Finally, the event will demonstrate the importance of measurement, and how to highlight and track KPIs against each objective in order to measure the success of your campaign.

Optix Solutions is delivering this masterclass exclusively for SETsquared Scale-Up members.
