What is Digital Marketing?

Digital marketing refers to marketing efforts that occur online through any number of digital channels. Businesses can leverage search engines, social media, email, and other websites to connect with current and prospective customers. There are as many specializations within digital marketing as there are ways of interacting using digital media.

Digital marketers drive brand awareness and lead generation through a variety of free and paid digital channels. In small companies, a single Digital Marketing generalist might drive many of the digital marketing tactics at the same time. In larger companies, these tactics have multiple specialists that each focus on just one or two of the brand’s digital channels.

Specialisation areas include

  • Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
  • Social Media Marketing
  • Content Marketing
  • Email Marketing
  • Pay-Per-Click Marketing

An entry-level Digital Marketer can earn between SGD1,800 to SGD2,500 a month, depending on their job scope.

Hear from Pennie

Meet Pennie, a #GenAlumni from our Digital Marketing programme.

For more than a decade, Pennie enjoyed a growing career in marketing and advertising. When she had children, she took a few years away from the workforce to focus on family—confident that she’d find her footing again when she was ready to return. As she began her job search, it did not take long for her to realize that she was reentering an industry that had been fundamentally transformed in her absence.
