As we always say in the Digital industry, one of the main differential advantages of Digital Marketing, if not the greatest, compared to traditional Marketing is the measurement capacity it has through the metrics offered by digital marketing tools. In our industry we can measure everything, and therefore, the most important thing; OPTIMIZE.
Digital marketing is a form of marketing that is based on using digital media technology and resources to develop direct, personal, and causing a reaction in the receiver communications. Fundamentally, digital marketing uses and is present in media such as the internet, mobile phones, digital television, and even video games.
Marketing Digital has taken a big leap and an important step in traditional marketing.

The creation of Digital Platforms as powerful positioning tools in a general market against traditional formulas in the written press with high costs and debatable impacts, media such as Television with a very high cost of production and marked by time slots, different audiences and sometimes only remembered by our minds through the issuance of a spot repeatedly, they are undoubtedly the great competitive window and the alternative to develop effective Marketing.
