What does a Digital Marketing Manager do?
Digital Marketing Managers oversee a team of marketing professionals in building and implementing a digital marketing campaign to publish on a variety of outlets. They build strategies to publish display, social media, SEO and web advertisements. They’ll work with their team to brainstorm ideas for digital campaigns, then they’ll build a schedule for each element of the campaign. They delegate the necessary takes to each team member based on their specific interests or skills.
Once the campaign is published, the Digital Marketing Manager reviews and measures its performance to determine if it’s met their marketing goals. The Digital Marketing Manager is then responsible for reporting and presenting these results to the leadership team.
