In understanding the differences between digital marketing and social media marketing, it is important to note that digital marketing encompasses a broader spectrum of online marketing activities that go beyond just social media. It includes strategies such as content marketing, email marketing, mobile marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns, website management, and more. Digital marketing engages with audiences across various digital channels and platforms to create a dialogue with the modern audience and build a community around a brand or organization.

On the other hand, social media marketing is a subset of digital marketing that specifically focuses on leveraging social media platforms for promotional purposes. It involves creating and sharing content strategically, engaging with the audience on social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc., and utilising data analytics to measure campaign effectiveness. Social media marketing plays a crucial role in fostering brand awareness, engagement, and customer loyalty by targeting audiences within specific social media platforms.
