In simple terms, what is a digital strategy and why does a business need it
It is mostly a marketing strategy, but adapted for the digital environment. Therefore, market analysis, trends, customers, strengths and weaknesses of the company and competitors must be assessed in digital with relevant metrics.
Why is a digital strategy needed / what are its tasks?

Developing a digital strategy consists of:
- market analysis, including research, case studies, technologies, trends (global and local, industry‑specific)
- customer analysis, including query core, customer journey, touchpoints, “pains”
- competitor analysis (direct/indirect), including product/service matrix, positioning, USP, communication (channels, key messages), tools (website analysis including SEO, marketplace accounts, SMM profiles, contextual advertising), reviews, prices, design, etc.
- company analysis – the same as competitors, plus metrics across channels (traffic, conversions, calls, sales), company structure, sales process
- targeting, including target audience, customer profile
- developing positioning, USP
- identifying growth points
- developing strategies for all channels
- defining goals
