Many people use digital marketing and social media marketing interchangeably.

They believe that


engaging in different social media platforms is digital marketing, but this is just a part of it.

Digital marketing is an umbrella term that encompasses all types of marketing activities that a brand
performs digitally, both online and offline, to promote their services or products. Social media
marketing, on the other hand, is one of the channels of digital media marketing. It involves marketing on
social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.

What is Digital Media Marketing?

According to the dictionary, marketing is the action of promoting business’ products or services to make
them more noticeable to the people and drive sales. The addition of the word ‘digital’ to marketing
means utilizing digital media channels to promote your products or services.

channels to achieve any of the following objectives:

 To grow your products or services sales and profits


 Create your brand awareness and build a strong relationship with your target audience

marketing campaign to accomplish your goals. Digital marketers develop a customized digital marketing
strategy that includes the most appropriate digital marketing channels that fit your business, target
audience, and of course, your budget.

choice of digital media channels depends on your industry, business, and type of audience. Due to this,

campaigns to determine which works best for your brand or business. Based on these results, you can
drop those digital marketing channels, which fail to provide satisfactory growth or ROI.

channels such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Goggle+, Snapchat, etc. to marketing your
products, services, or brand. Typically, it involves engagement with your target audience, followers,
seeking industry influencers, posting fresh and unique content, arranging contests and adopting a
variety of other means to grab the attention of the audience present on different social media channels.

their online time on social media platforms. If you want to place your business in front of people and
expand your reach globally, social media marketing is a must for your business.

Most of the businesses and brands experience a quicker response rate from social media marketing
campaigns as compared to other forms of digital media marketing. But this is not enough to achieve the
set marketing goals. To harness the optimal benefits and achieve maximum ROI, it is necessary for
businesses and brands to include other digital marketing components in their digital marketing
campaign and not only focus on social media marketing.

Digital Marketing versus Social Media Marketing

After reading the above explanations, it must be clear to you that social media marketing is just a part of
digital marketing. The comparison of both side by side gives you the following:

 Digital marketing uses both online and offline digital means to reach out to the target audience,
while social media marketing is limited to online boundaries.
 Your digital media marketing campaign may use a variety of channels such as mobile
advertisements, TV, online advertising, SMS, etc. while social media marketing may focus on one
or more than one social media channel such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc.
 The success of your social media marketing campaign depends heavily on your content strategy.
It means you need to keep posting fresh and unique content on your social media accounts to
interact and engage your target audience. While for digital marketing, you can only use the
banner advertisements on different digital platforms like TV, the Internet, or billboards to
promote your product, services or brand
