Abstract

Because of the rise of the digital age, it just seems right to invest in a digital campaign. Even though traditional marketing still has a place, it has started diminishing in the new digital world. In this context, with increased impetus on digital India by the Government, new vistas as well as new challenges open up for an Indian digital marketer.
