π Closely related topics with distinct features, both being necessary for any business to reach its full potential. Each approach serves different purposes and offers unique advantages.
Here are a few of the many ways that the two differ from each other:
π₯ M: encompasses all activities to promote and sell products or services, including market research and advertising, through traditional and digital channels.
π D: is a subset of marketing that exclusively uses digital channels like websites, social media, email, and search engines.
π₯ M: uses a mix of traditional (TV, radio, print, billboards) and digital channels.
