Digital Marketing covers two increasingly overlapping marketing technology segments: Marketing Automation (MA) and Social Media Monitoring & Intelligence (SMMI).
Marketing Automation platforms help you build, enrich, and then promote to a “marketing database.” These could be named individuals who responded to a direct mail campaign or anonymous prospects who visit your website. In B2B scenarios, they serve to qualify and nurture leads to the point where they can get engaged by a sales team working with a salesforce automation or customer relationship management (CRM) platform. In B2C scenarios, MA platforms may generate highly specialized offers trying to drive transactions or further engagement.
Social Media Monitoring & Intelligence tools monitor the social web including parts of Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and major blogging platforms, among others.
