Drupal 8: An Agile and Strategic Digital Marketing Platform

| | 2 min read

Digital trends are evolving and transforming quite rapidly. Digital marketers can monitor what is being viewed, for how long and how often. Being able to analyze what content works, what doesn’t and see the sale conversions should help in making a strategic marketing plan that is agile. Drupal known for its flexibility and scalability, is a great tool for building an amazing digital marketing platform.

According to Gartner, one-third of the marketers say digital techniques are fully incorporated into their marketing operation, but only 10% of marketers say they are expecting marketing roles to create new digitally-led business markets. That’s because, not too surprisingly, most businesses do digital marketing in an ad hoc manner.

The boom in mobile sales and increased connectivity has made the digital market invade even the most remote areas and the high-speed connectivity will make digital marketing even more ubiquitous.
