I’ve created this glossary as a free reference to help marketing students and professionals understand today’s fast-changing world of modern marketing. It builds on the simple glossary in my books to include more details, visuals and examples. It focuses on digital marketing strategy, but covers lots of practical concepts too.
The glossaries in my books include hundreds of entries. At the moment this glossary mainly focuses on digital marketing strategy which is my area of expertise, I will be regularly expanding it to include more detailed terms about digital marketing channels.
