Dear Reader,

Since our 10th Anniversary Edition of eMarketing: The Essential Guide to Marketing in a Digital World, we have witnessed a global wave of change that has had an undeniable impact on how we live, connect, and communicate worldwide.

The pandemic has sped up digital transformation and technologies by several years, which is why we’ve adopted an alternative approach to revisiting the contents of this textbook. Every digital marketing element has changed significantly since our last edition, and for this reason, we have aligned this textbook with the latest trends and developments in evolved marketing structures. Consumer and user-experience continue to influence all strategic marketing decisions, while technology and data-driven insights fuel decision-making to accelerate results for businesses.

You will notice that we have elaborated on planning and strategy to set the context and framework for digital marketing, with a strong focus on content as an essential part of Creating. The structure of the textbook explores why customers and data have become so essential to marketing, and how brands can use customer data to market more effectively. We have also included dedicated chapters like Content marketing and value and Content creation as the primary means to connect and engage with customers.

 An exciting new chapter titled Future of advertising, looks at how technology has and continues to change advertising into the future, as well as how marketers and business owners can take full advantage of authentic content and online connections to build brand presence and foster loyalty.

We hope you enjoy our book and remember, the most important thing any human can do is teach, even if you’re not a teacher. Share your knowledge and make the world a better place.
