What a Digital Marketing Specialist does

They run the channels that bring people to your product and keep them coming back. Day to day that means:

Planning and running campaigns across paid, social, email, and SEO

Managing budgets and shifting spend toward what actually converts

Building landing pages and funnels that turn clicks into leads

Tracking performance and reporting on cost per lead and ROI

A strong one is a generalist who knows when to go deep and when to bring in a specialist. Most teams hire one as their first dedicated marketing hire.
