Digital marketing has become one of the most commonly used phrases these days. Although it's easily used in a sentence, quite often, it is not defined accurately. For some, it's a synonym for "Internet Marketing," while others describe it as marketing using electronic devices. Business conditions have changed due to the growth of digital media, and today's commercial market is undervalued. The world's digital era is at a turning point. All companies' goods benefit from the use of digital platforms to increase revenue. Companies can quickly accept more customers, especially youths, and customers have various options when making buying decisions.

Topicality. While digital revolution in every field and sector of economy, including marketing is fait accompli, a proper conceptualisation thereof is still far from being definitely provided. In this context the need for simultaneously more accurate and general understanding of marketing system development as well as for effective regulation of their growth and change is widely recognised. The situation with macromarketing in digital is much the same. Digital marketing in so far has mostly been scrutinised as a set of tools at the level of a firm. This article represents an attempt to shape it as a marketing system within service economy, the value in which is created by co-creation, and the theoretical basis is represented by the logic of service dominance (S-D logic). Aim and tasks. The article addresses the scope and tasks of digital marketing, considered from the point of view of the marketing system at the macro level. Research results. Based on the phenomena of datafication, digitalisation, virtualisation and generativity, as specific features of digital technologies the digital marketing macrosystem is shaped. On the basis of these treats, the vision of specific features of the scope of macromarketing in the digital space is proposed and developed, as well as the comparison of digital marketing as a micro- and a macrosystem is provided. Digital platforms for transactions, creation and access to new digital services, and related to them sharing economy research have been proposed as a central element to digital macromarketing. The concept might be used in further studies aimed at assessing the input of digital marketing onto economy as a whole, or the impact of digital media development on the development and growth of market environment, as well as to develop measures to regulate and stimulate digital marketing development and, through it, the development of the digital economy as a whole. Exploring the forms and conditions of its relationship with other marketing systems and other social subsystems, as well as determining the levels of the hierarchy in it and the interaction between levels, is a promising avenue for research. Some other areas of further research are also suggested. Conclusion. Digital marketing as a macrosystem should focus on the study of functional mechanisms that help expand marketing processes and systems, determine the relationship between value creation and acquisition models and the creation and growth of welfare at the level of the economy as a whole. Given the central place of digital research platforms for the conditions of their origin and functioning depending on socio-economic conditions and development on their basis of the economy of distribution and joint value creation can be an interesting area of further research.

This research analyzes the direct-to-consumer digital marketing technologies in terms of prevalence and effectiveness. A cross-sectional study design was carried out using the non-repeated random sampling technique. Standardized questionnaires were administered by means of face-to-face interviews or online via web software Sphinx (Python Documentation Generator). The relative importance of prevalence (RIP) and the mean evaluation of effectiveness (MEE) were determined for all studied digital media and for all the different groups of respondents (pharmaceutical sales representatives, community pharmacists, consumers, and the entire sample). Inter-individual differences in RIP and MEE were assessed by computing the coefficient of variation, whereas inter-group differences were determined by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the Scheffé test as a post-hoc test. Research findings showed that, according to the opinion of all respondents, pharmaceutical promotional tools were more prevalent on healthcare websites. However, all respondents considered social media networks and chat messengers to be the most effective in terms of marketing communication. In conclusion, the results of the present research enable a better understanding of which digital platforms are more often used as media for direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical promotion, and which ones are perceived as the most effective for marketing communication.

The luxury car segment is the most vibrant segment in the luxury goods market, experiencing high growth in recent years in the emerging economies of China, India, and Brazil. In India, the luxury car segment is dominated by three major players, that is, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW, together accounting for 85 per cent of the total Indian luxury car segment. The study proposes a marketing response model for luxury car brands, involving a linear model with all possible interaction effects. The model is applied in the case of a luxury car brand which had recently adopted digital marketing in addition to its traditional advertising media mix. The response in the form of customer queries at its showroom (situated in Bangalore, India) was taken as the dependent variable. The independent variables were the advertising expenditure in different media, viz. newspapers and magazines, display events, and digital media. The results of the model provide a measure of the effectiveness of each of the media, the interaction between them, as well as the impact of digital marketing.

Abstract Everyone, from distinguished philosophers to emergent poets, has been to some extent disoriented by the new digital technology and its shimmer of compositional novelty. This article reviews recent studies of the impact of the digital on research into the history of modern and contemporary poetry. Almost all poetry written and circulated today is dependent on digital media, with profound consequences for every aspect of its writing, performance, and reception. I argue that scholars of poetry can benefit from learning more about what constitutes the digital, as material technology, as programming, and as transformative social practice, as well as by studying earlier phases of the rapid transformation of communications technology. I then discuss briefly several recent texts on current digital infrastructure, before surveying some representative recent critical works that draw on insights derived from our digital era to provide new perspectives on the predigital age of poetry. At the heart of this review, essay is extended discussions of Seth Perlow’s The Poem Electric and Todd Tietchen’s Technomodern Poetics, recent books that explore changing concepts of lyric, surveillance, anonymity, and even electricity. In addition, this essay discusses The Bloomsbury Handbook of Electronic Literature, edited by Joseph Tabbi, which has a strong focus on poetics.

It was in the ‘Balkan wars’ of the 1990s that the news media and the military started to understand the extent to which digital media were reshaping the craft of war reporting. Journalists were now able to report from behind enemy lines. War has always delivered the most severe test to journalistic independence. What are the challenges to journalists reporting news in a war situation? How objective can they be? ‘The first casualty: journalists at war’ charts the impact of the digital era on war reporting in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the rise of the Arabic television channel Al Jazeera.

Purpose – At present no frameworks exist for services marketers to incorporate social media (SM) within marketing communications planning. The majority of integrated marketing communications (IMC) frameworks were developed prior to the development of the widespread use of digital and SM for information seeking, sales and service. The purpose of this paper is to investigate this issue for services marketers specifically as they differ from FMCG, industrial and durable marketers in terms of marketing messages, branding, media and channels. Furthermore, as they are less reliant on outsourced sale channels they have more potential than other industries to integrate social and digital media to build awareness, brands and sales. Design/methodology/approach – Depth interviews were conducted with eight senior services marketing executives to identify the impact of SM on marketing communications planning, implementation and measurement. Findings – The findings revealed that the unique characteristics of SM (such as interactivity and individualisation, integration of communication and distribution channels, immediacy and information collection) impact traditional marketing communications frameworks. These impacts manifested in 12 modifications specific to services and SM to traditional generic IMC frameworks encompassed by the themes of reach, service channel, word-of-mouth advocacy, consumer generated messages, listening and behavioural measurement. Practical implications – The rapidly evolving nature of SM means senior services marketers need to educate organisational stakeholders regarding implementation issues, which may be a barrier to effective integration of SM within marketing communications. Originality/value – With digital marketing communications budgets reaching 30 per cent within some organisations, it is timely to put forward a marketing communication decision-making framework that first incorporates SM and second is suitable for services marketers.
