Before a decade people used to do marketing traditionally i.e. on paper, but now things are changed there are many options through which marketing can be done like social media, email, websites, mobile apps, content marketing, and so on. & this is known as digital marketing.
I come from the state of Gujarat has garnered considerable attention from not just the nation but businesses and traders from across the globe as a well-known commercial hub and a powerhouse for commercial activity, both national and international. Similarly, the vibrant city of Ahmedabad that is situated on the banks of the Sabarmati River in the heart of Gujarat happens to be one of India’s foremost coveted business locations. This bustling metropolis, which boasts of having a considerable number of commercial organisations, has both industrial and service-based enterprises.
Owing to the state and city’s ethos of promoting entrepreneurial drives in its populace, it is no surprise that the city has witnessed a rise in the number of professionals who offer the most cutting-edge marketing solution that caters to the needs of every business domain today and has become a vital source of brand communication. Digital marketing is a bustling term in my city. Yet do all who claim to have mastery over it actually help brands yield optimal results? I can’t say for sure.
