Digital Marketing Jobs

Although digital marketing is a subset of the full marketing function it has become the centre of attention for most businesses. The measurable cost per action and ability to reach a specific target market has made digital marketing skills some of the most sought after in many organisations.

Marketing managers with tertiary or industry experience will define the marketing strategy of a business and then allocate tasks to digital marketing coordinators and support staff. Much of the grunt work involves creating content which is used in different channels including

written words (blog, email broadcasts, landing pages and social media),
images (blog posts and social media), and
video (Youtube and Facebook)

Digital Marketing Interns and Junior Support Staff

At the core of the marketing function are the 4 P’s (Price, Product, Promotion, and Place). To stand out from competitors businesses make decisions about their strengths and weakness and identify their ideal clients. They create a marketing message and get that message out to their ideal customers where ever they are.

Alongside all of these marketing activities, competitors are performing similar tasks to attract the attention of the same or similar clients. That’s why companies offer price matching, discounts if you find a better price, longer warranties etc. Tasks often performed by a digital marketing intern are centred around this competitive research and analysis and helps the marketing manager or coordinator keep abreast of what the “market” is doing.
