"As the world gets connected by the internet, digital marketing has become a very important part of any marketing or branding strategy. It is an easy way to reach your audience and in a more personal way. Thus when your competitors are using it they have an edge over you to reach the desired audience first. "

"Branding = Understanding Yourself E.g. Who are we? Who do we serve? How are we different? What problem do we solve for our customers? Things like brand strategy, logos, colour-schemes, messaging and maintaining that work are all part of the branding equation. Marketing = Understanding Your Customer Market research, product development, pricing, customer support, websites, brochures, social media, SEO, publicity, public relations, event planning, blogging, community outreach, etc., are all subsets of marketing. The common thing between branding and marketing is to connect with the right audience with different types of content. "

Since brand building is a qualitative term, exact tracking mechanism doesn't exist. However, the effect of brand building can be seen in other terms like increased product/services demand, increased sells, improved perception, more positive reviews, more engagement, more site visits, quality audience on the website, positive chatters on the web, positive brand reviews etc.

The internet users are increasing day by day, India alone has 627 million internet users and thus it would not be difficult to say that a lump sum amount of your target audience is online. Digital marketing has also revolutionized old ways of marketing as everything is now on the tip of your fingers and content consumption is increasing day by day. Thus digital marketing helps you to reach your target audience at any given point of time.
