My passion for marketing began before the rise of social media. Back then, the goal was to land a job at a big ad agency and produce mind-blowing commercials for TV.
Now, everything’s changed. With just a phone and a creative idea, anyone can reach thousands—or even millions—of people.
The evolution of the internet and smartphones has changed everything. How we communicate, shop, and engage is all different now. For marketers, this shift means huge opportunity—but only if we understand where, why, and how to show up. Welcome to the age of digital marketing.
What is Digital Marketing?
Adobe for Business describes digital marketing as:
“The use of digital channels to market products to boost brand awareness, drive traffic, and hit marketing goals. It promotes brands and connects them to potential customers via the internet.” (Source: Adobe for Business Blog, Digital Marketing Overview)
Digital marketing covers many channels and tools, including:
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) – how I got started in this field
Websites and landing pages
Social media platforms
Email campaigns
Mobile apps
Text messaging
Web ads (display, native, video, and more)
Once, marketers relied mostly on TV, radio, newspapers, and direct mail. While these are still relevant, they’re no longer the main players. We’ve come a long way.
Why It Matters Now
We’re operating in the golden age of digital real estate.
Digital marketing isn’t just powerful—it’s fast, flexible, and always evolving. The internet has turned marketing into a two-way conversation.
When. used the right way, digital tools help us:
Find and connect with the right people
Talk to customers in real time
Analyze behavior, sentiment, and trends
Track what’s working (and what’s not)
Most importantly, digital marketing makes it possible to build consistent messaging across all platforms. When you use Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) approach, your message feels unified everywhere. This boosts trust, recall, and real results.
What I’ve Learned (And Why It Matters)
Looking back, I wish I had leaned into digital marketing earlier.
In the past, I ran campaigns where data felt like a report card—something we looked at after the fact. We saw results but didn’t always know what they meant.
Today, that’s changed. Now, we have tools that provide real insight—not just numbers. We can build smarter, more focused strategies that are backed by real data.
As the founder of Chimerical Cadence, I help my clients understand that marketing is no longer just about being seen. It’s about being relevant, understood, and strategic.
