The session also discussed different types of digital marketing, including blogging, social media platforms, online forum reviews, FAQs pages, email, website SEO, online video, search engine ads, and mobile apps.
Search Engine Marketing (SEM) components were examined, including SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and PPC (Pay-Per-Click).

Google holds a 92% market share of search engines.
Organic search results are determined by search engine algorithms based on site merits.
Paid ads are displayed beside organic search results and are purchased, not earned.
Paid advertising benefits include better click-through rates, quicker results, and specific targeting. Drawbacks include cost and a potentially lower click-through rate than organic listings.
Organic advertising benefits include ranking, permanence, better click-through rates, and trust/credibility. Drawbacks include time and resource investment.

Content marketing is the process of creating and distributing valuable content to attract and engage an audience, with the goal of driving profitable customer action.
Content marketing should aim to provide content that relieves customer anxiety and achieves their desires.
Content marketing is an episodic tool with various small story arcs, that supports an overall narrative/story arc.

The advantage of content marketing lies in its accountability; performance is trackable by theme, format, and channel.
Periodic improvement is crucial since content marketing is dynamic.
Key social media platforms for B2B content marketing usage include LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, You-tube and Google+.
