Suggestions for Improvement (sanyad23) 1). Definition could use some re-working, internet marketing as a branch must be explained along with social media marketing as a separate branch 2). History and inception of digital marketing and why/how the trend spread 3). Push and Pull strategies should be explained in greater depth titled "Overview" 4). Multi-channel communication should include each medium of communication and how it is related and works in the form of digital marketing 5). Changing face of Digital Marketing- how consumerism and digital marketing are related 6). Include key terms such as social media optimization, media populism other similar terms — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sanyad23 (talk • contribs) 00:31, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
