30+ Areas Of Focus For Digital Marketers In 2023

Just as the number of solutions in digital marketing continues to skyrocket in growth, so do the areas of focus of digital marketers. I’ve always been appreciative of the challenges our industry brings, and not a day goes by that I’m not researching and learning about new strategies, techniques, and technologies.

I’m not sure that it’s possible to be a digital marketing expert across every area of focus. Still, I do believe it’s possible to be well-rounded with a general understanding of each. As I work with clients, I often see gaps that require assistance outside our staff, and we often seek out hyper-focused experts for specific issues.

This list is in no way exhaustive, but I did want to provide a solid list. If you believe I’m missing any, add them in the comments!
