There are many different fractions of digital marketing that gained popularity through time, for one reason or another. Similarly, this particular era seems to have acquired a significant prevalence over others this year. Let’s have a look at the top ones:
- Performance Marketing has gained increased popularity through different means. This is based on the inherent working of this type of marketing which is very strategic and ROI-based. It is not restricted to just aiding sales but also closing a lead, getting a download or registration for an event and/or service, or whatever the desired result of the seller is.

Affiliate Marketing, Email Marketing, and Influencer Marketing are a few types of performance-based marketing.

This has sparked interest in the PPC advertising region, which remains a viable way to market online despite the pandemic and economic downturn.
- Website Design saw many trends coming and going from full-page headers, minimalist moods, to negative space making a comeback, remodeled scrolling, increased focus on UX/UI design, use of colors with purpose i.e. Pastels for general information and Bold/Bright ones for CTA, etc. and use of customized illustrations to highlight something on the website.
