In my experience, evaluating the success of a digital marketing campaign involves a combination of selecting the right KPIs and analyzing the relevant metrics. I like to think of it as a two-step process. First, I identify the campaign goals, which could range from increasing brand awareness to driving sales. Then, I select the appropriate KPIs that align with these goals. Some common KPIs include website traffic, conversion rate, click-through rate, and social media engagement.
Once the KPIs are established, I delve into the metrics to determine the campaign's performance. For example, if the goal is to increase website traffic, I would analyze metrics such as the total number of visitors, the average session duration, and the bounce rate. By monitoring these metrics over time, I can determine whether the campaign is successful in achieving its goals.
I remember working on a project where the goal was to increase newsletter sign-ups. In this case, we tracked the conversion rate of users who signed up after visiting the landing page. By analyzing the data, we were able to identify areas for improvement and optimize the campaign accordingly.

In my last role, I worked on a project where the company wanted to increase brand awareness and generate leads. My go-to approach was to create a mix of content types, such as educational blog posts, entertaining videos, and eye-catching graphics, which were shared across various social media platforms. I also used paid social media advertising to reach a larger audience and drive traffic to the website.
