We will approach the topic strategically, but also dive into elements of tactical execution across all the major digital channels:search, display, email, social, and mobile. Our approach will focus on the ultimate business goals and results of a marketing strategy - and how to frame these objectives and measure them for success - rather than just showcase every "shiny new object, " app, or social network. Given the rapidly changing subject matter inthe book, we'll provide extensive examples, tools and resources for use outside the confines ofthe text, and in a special section at the end of each chapter.
