What Is a Digital Marketing Specialist?

A Digital Marketing Specialist is someone who works alongside a company’s marketing team to identify a target market, create a brand image, and create and maintain a marketing campaign for the internet and for digital technologies.

A Digital Marketing Specialist can choose to specialize in certain areas, such as search engine optimization (SEO), paid search (PPC), display media, social media and shopping feeds. Additionally, they can have a more general digital marketing expertise and can still be referred to as a Digital Marketing Specialist

What does a Digital Marketing Specialist do?

The Digital Marketing Specialist role has similar objectives and goals as a marketing professional – to increase brand awareness, promote company products or services and to drive prospects to conversions. Unlike using the more traditional marketing channels, digital marketers effectively communicate through appropriate technology platforms.

A Digital Marketing Specialist works to initiate effective marketing campaigns online, and to translate business goals into successful marketing campaigns. They are adept at evaluating the needs of the consumer market and will understand how and where to acquire knowledge about consumer trends and demands.

A Digital Marketing Specialist is responsible for developing the strategy used in marketing a company’s product online. This is done by putting together various online promotions and e-mailing campaigns to get their company’s message out, and also by performing consumer research to discover other ways of reaching customers by way of the Internet.
