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.

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
