ABOUT THE ANTHOLOGY<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We now live in a digital world. Indeed, there are more than 3 billion people connected to the internet. For every 100 people on the planet, there are 96 mobile telephone subscriptions. And more and more of our everyday objects\u2014cuddly toys, cars, even kettles\u2014have created an \u2018internet of things\u2019.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is no surprise, therefore, that companies are eager to harness this digital world. Marketers, in particular, hope that so-called digital marketing will allow them to gain new customer insights, refine customer segmentation, and communicate to customers more efficiently and effectively. They anticipate that the digital world will offer possibilities for new product innovation, new methods for engaging customers, new vehicles for creating brand communities.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Despite the pervasiveness of the digital world, however, digital marketing is seemingly still in its infancy. To begin, what exactly is digital marketing? Indeed, the term is bandied about, but its meaning\u2014its scope, outline, boundary, and limits\u2014is far from concise. Second, digital marketing is still very atheoretical. To date, it has largely been based on assumptions, guesswork, and conjecture. And third, digital marketing is conducted ad hoc<\/i>, with few (if any) standardised policies, practices, or procedures.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For this anthology, therefore, the editors seek chapters which explore digital marketing. They welcome chapters from practitioners and scholars alike, and which follow any methodological tradition. Specifically, the editors will be guided by the three broad but interrelated themes which were identified above:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. Conceptual: What is digital marketing? Are there different types? How is it situated within marketing more broadly? Answering these types of questions will sharpen the definition of digital marketing. Proposals will be evaluated, therefore, on their contribution to our understanding of the nature<\/i> of digital marketing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. Theoretical: How does digital marketing work? What are its effects? Can it be controlled? Answering these types of questions will raise the significance of digital marketing. Proposals will be evaluated, therefore, on their contribution to our understanding of the mechanisms<\/i> of digital marketing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3. Practical: How is digital marketing conducted? What are its different channels? In which contexts does it work? Answering these types of questions will increase the application of digital marketing. Proposals will be evaluated, therefore, on their contribution to our understanding of the function<\/i> of digital marketing.<\/div>\n
