It brings you up-to-date on the digital age and uniquely sets out how to manage specific digital marketing marketing activities and the marketing function.

The book is packed with practical insights to optimise search, advertising and social media performance. It fits like a jigsaw piece with the original practical guide to help you address all key marketing challenges. In addition, it helps you understand the 'big picture', and work with colleagues to lead and maximise the benefits to your organisation.
