Preface
Digital marketing has transformed how businesses and other organisations communicate
with their audiences. Consumers now have access to a much wider choice of entertainment,
products, services and prices from different suppliers and a more convenient way to select and
purchase items. Organisations have the opportunity to expand into new markets, offer new
services, interact with audiences in new ways and compete on a more equal footing with larger
businesses. Marketers working within these organisations have the opportunity to develop
new skills and to integrate these new tools to improve the competitiveness of the company.
In Chapter 1 we introduce the 7Ds of digital marketing to highlight the many factors that
contribute to effective digital marketing. The 7Ds are digital goals and strategy, digital audi-
ences, digital devices, digital platforms, digital media, digital data and digital technology.
These can be used, alongside traditional marketing techniques, to get closer to audiences than
ever before. Throughout the text we emphasise the importance of integrating the 7Ds, such
that digital marketing is not treated in isolation but aligned with marketing and business strat-
egy, while offering opportunities to impact strategy through new revenue and business models.
At the same time, the internet and related digital technology platforms give rise to many
threats to organisations. For example, online companies such as ASOS and Zalando (cloth-
ing); Amazon (retail); Spotify (music) and Booking.com and Expedia (travel) have captured
a significant part of their market and struck fear into the existing players. Many consumers
now regularly use social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat, TikTok
and Twitter as part of their daily lives, with the majority of access via smartphones. Engag-
ing these consumers is an ongoing challenge but, as we will see, companies such as those
above have taken advantage of these opportunities to interact with customers and evaluate
these interactions, and this has helped them develop as worldwide brands.
Throughout this text we highlight the potential of digital data, analytics and insight to
learn more about customers and their interactions, and customise marketing propositions
and communications to increase relevance and response. We show that a data-driven or
insight-driven marketing approach offers many advantages, but that organisations must
carefully consider the implications for customer data privacy and security.
With the success stories of companies capturing market share following the rapidly increas-
ing adoption of the internet by consumers and business buyers, it is a prerequisite that all
organisations must have an effective online presence to prosper, or possibly even survive!
What Michael Porter said in 2001 is still valid today:
The key question is not whether to deploy Internet technology – companies have no choice
if they want to stay competitive – but how to deploy it.
What are the marketing communications techniques that businesses need to master to make
effective use of digital marketing? The proliferation of new media channels, digital tech-
nologies and interaction options has given a challenge of understanding, prioritising and

managing many new digital communications techniques. To help summarise these at a top
level of the customer lifecycle or classic marketing funnel, Chaffey (2021) defined the RACE
planning framework shown in Table P.1. RACE planning defines a structure of 5 : 5 = 25 key
digital marketing techniques that need to be harnessed in most organisations to fully exploit
digital marketing to reach, interact with, convert and engage online audiences across the
customer lifecycle, from generating awareness, conversion to sale (online and offline) and
retention and growth of customers. RACE also emphasises the need to plan to create a
coordinated, integrated approach to digital marketing, which is integrated with other com-
munications activities. Many of the activities across RACE are introduced in Chapter 1
as ‘always-on’ lifecycle communications, meaning businesses need to ensure that they can
optimise their capabilities to achieve the RACE goals shown in the second row of Table P.1.
For larger organisations, Table P.1 provides a summary of activities that need to be managed
as part of digital transformation programmes, which review the innovation across people,
process, tools and measures needed to increase competitiveness.
The table shows the range of different marketing activities or operating processes needed
to support acquiring new customers through communicating with them on third-party web-
sites and social media, attracting them to a company website, mobile app or social network
and converting interest into leads and sales, and then using online customer communica-
tions to encourage further purchases and advocacy. You can see that applying social media
and content marketing is a part of RACE that can be deployed to support many activities,
and therefore is one of the key management challenges in digital marketing, so we consider
approaches to managing social media and content marketing throughout the text, with a
focus in Chapters 6, 8 and 9. Applying digital platforms as part of multichannel marketing to
integrate customer journeys between traditional and digital media is also a major challenge
and a theme throughout this text. Management processes related to governance of digital
marketing include planning how digital marketing can be best resourced to contribute to
the organisation and integrated with other marketing activities. The increased adoption of
digital marketing also implies a significant programme of change that needs to be managed.
New objectives need to be set, new communications strategies developed and staff developed
through new responsibilities and skills.
Preface xv
The aim of this text is to provide you with a comprehensive guide to the concepts, techniques
and best practice to support all the digital marketing processes shown in Table P.1. This
text (the structure of which is shown in Figure P.1) is based on emerging academic models
together with best practice from leading adopters of digital media. The practical knowledge

IMPLEMENTATION Delivering the
AND PRACTICE digital customer
experience
developed through reviewing these concepts and best practice is intended to enable gradu-
ates entering employment and marketing professionals to exploit the opportunities of digital
marketing while minimising the risks.
Specifically, this text addresses the following needs:
• To know to what extent digital technology and media changes existing marketing models
and how new models and strategies can be applied to exploit the medium effectively.
• How to best integrate and align digital marketing with business and marketing strategies
and communications, including dedicated digital transformation programmes and digital
marketing strategies where necessary.
• Marketing practitioners need practical digital marketing skills to market their products
effectively. Knowledge of the jargon – terms such as ‘marketing automation’, ‘click-
through’, ‘cookie’, ‘uniques’ and ‘page impressions’ – and of effective methods of site
design and promotion such as search engine marketing will be necessary, either for direct
‘hands-on’ development of a site or to enable communication with other staff or agencies
that are implementing and maintaining the site.
The text assumes some existing knowledge of marketing in the reader, perhaps developed
through experience or by students studying introductory modules in marketing fundamen-
tals, marketing communications or buyer behaviour. However, basic concepts of marketing,
communications theory, buyer behaviour and the marketing mix are outlined.
The acclaimed structure of previous editions has been retained since this provides a clear
sequence to the stages of strategy development and implementation that are required to plan
successfully for digital marketing in existing and startup companies.
The main changes made for the eighth edition, based on feedback from reviews and our
close monitoring of the trends and latest developments, are:
• The 5Ds of digital marketing extended to 7Ds to emphasise the importance of goal set-
ting, strategy and customer insight.
• New and updated visuals to introduce and explain digital marketing concepts and
options. Overall, this edition has over 50 new or updated figures and tables.
• Table 2.1 updated to include the latest customer research tools and sources for students
to use in their assignments.
• New research on share of searches and examples of keywords.
• New mini case study on how social media influencers can shape our opinions.
Preface xvii
• New digital marketing insights box exploring: ‘Is a digital marketing strategy needed in
the post-digital world?’
• New section and figure on completing a digital marketing capability review.
• New section on data-driven marketing covering Big Data, AI and machine learning, and
analysis techniques including lead scoring and lead grading with a mini case study illus-
trating the concept. Chapter restructured to emphasise this, with social media marketing
moved to the end and now including social media monitoring.
• New figures explaining how email marketing and social media can be used to support
marketing activities across the customer lifecycle of Reach, Act, Convert and Engage.
• New case study showing how a startup business – B2B social media sharing service Buffer –
has used data-driven marketing to grow the business.
• Options of cloud-based hosting and website hosting introduced. Google Core Web Vitals
added.
• Usability and digital accessibility updated with new Voice of the Customer examples and
McGovern’s ‘top tasks’ methodology.
• Updates of new IoT and AR applications including addition of classical literature on VR,
AR and mixed reality.
• New coverage and research covering balance between brand-building and brand-response
campaigns and how digital media can facilitate this.
• Case study on Facebook replaced by not-for-profit Global Action Plan, which campaigns
for environmental improvements.
• Updated figures recommending an integrated campaign timeline and best media types
for different campaign budgets.
xviii Preface
• Best practices recommendations updated, particularly for organic and paid search. New
mini case added on advertising in TikTok.

centric, multichannel marketing; it also reviews the relationship between internet market-
ing, digital marketing, e-commerce and digital business, and the benefits the internet can
bring to adopters; and outlines differences from other media and briefly introduces the
technology.
• Chapter 2 Online marketplace analysis: micro-environment reviews how digital media
and technology changes the immediate environment of an organisation, including the

tronic commerce are all reviewed in some detail. Knowledge of these practical techniques is
essential for undergraduates on work placements involving website, content or social media
marketing activities, and for marketing managers who are dealing with suppliers such as
design agencies.
• Chapter 7 Delivering the digital customer experience explains how an online presence
is developed to support branding and customer service quality objectives. The stages

are important for developing a successful online campaign.
• Chapter 9 Marketing communications using digital media channels covers techniques
