What is Digital Strategy?

Digital strategy is the process of identifying, articulating and executing on digital opportunities that will increase your organization’s competitive advantage.

BUT YOU CAN’T REALLY DEFINE IT LIKE THAT…

Digital strategy is...complicated.

• It is design, SEO, social media, sharing, blogging, inbound linking, outbound linking, user experience, user interface, CTA’s, conversion, $$, meta, beta, data, usage, speed, marketing, tags, hashtags, videos, images, cats…and a whole lot more…

The first thing I always tell my clients is…

That the most important aspect of building a successful business is knowing your demographic.
