First things first. Digital Marketing is a development of traditional marketing consisting of new tools to explore the environment. In this unit, we will explore the macro and microenvironment of the digital business and how we can use online tools to understand the business scenario. You will learn how to use the 5Cs to perform a deep analysis segmented as company, collaborators, customers, competitors, and context. Basic marketing concepts will be translated into the digital world so the practical techniques to be learned next will be easily understood. You can start by reviewing the unit learning outcomes and then reviewing the unit resources.
