In the third module, we will start with an overview of three widely adopted digital marketing strategies: online display advertising, search engine marketing, and social media marketing. Given the rapidly changing technological landscape and the vastly different business contexts in which these strategies are implemented, we will not focus on implementation and execution. Instead, this module aims to provide a conceptual understanding of the underlying principles of these marketing tactics.
