The definition of a marketing company is not hard to explain. We simply can say: a marketing company is a service provider which is involved with the marketing activities such as business communication, advertisements, etc.

Normally a marketing company assists their clients or companies with the planning. The marketing company or agency also executes the phases of their marketing actions for their customers.

In maximum cases, digital marketing agencies are considered to be the same as advertising agencies. Digital marketing agencies normally do the works that you have already assigned to them.

The assigned works include Social Media Marketing, content marketing, video marketing, digital ads, branding of the products, public relations, digital campaigns, email marketing, etc.

Digital Marketing

If you wanna know the difference between traditional marketing and digital marketing then the content of this paragraph will certainly help you. The main difference between traditional marketing and digital marketing is their actions. Traditional marketing is a kind of static work.

Normally, you can’t check the call per action but with the digital marketing strategy, you will be able to check almost every action of your future audience.

So-called traditional marketing doesn’t allow you direct interaction with targeted customers, whereas digital marketing will offer you a high range of engagement with your targeted people.

In Digital Marketing you can set the area anywhere in the world. But in Traditional Marketing it would be very hard, time-consuming and of course very costly to do reach the targeted people. Sometimes traditional marketing has positive aspects too.

Say, for example, in Television or Radio commercials you can run the ads multiple times and people will get reminders always. Sometimes it is very hard to skip the ads in traditional media but in digital media, you can skip the ads very easily. When you see an ad on digital media such as on Youtube or on Facebook you have the option not to watch or skip.
