What Digital Marketing covers

Digital Marketing at Marketing Management Level 5 teaches you how to plan and judge online promotion for a Kenyan business. You determine objectives by carrying out a SWOT analysis and studying consumer trends. Next you analyze the target audience and identify the digital media channels that reach it, developing marketing content that follows policy. You then examine channels, assign roles and responsibilities and review content for compliance with laws and regulations. Feedback collection means building tools to gather and analyze performance data. Finally you monitor and evaluate plans and recommend improvements, so that a shop or brand can see which online effort pays off.
