Description of the research topic:

Digital marketing is the most important area of the latest marketing approach. Marketing 4.0 represents a paradigm shift in marketing because, building on and beyond the current value-driven approach, it focuses on connectivity which is why it is also called a “connected” marketing approach. Instead of the traditional vertical, exclusionary, and individual characteristics, the impact of interconnection can be described by keywords such as horizontal, inclusive, and social, due to the degradation of geographic, demographic barriers, interconnected, directly communicating people, and collaborative innovative firms. In the age of Marketing 4.0, customers are becoming more horizontal, - customers are more cautious about brand marketing communications, more and more focused on f-factors (friends, families, fans, and followers) - the customer's purchasing process is more and more social, - ratings and reviews are sought online and offline. Digital marketing has a significant impact on society, digital society has now developed and digital consumption has become widespread. The main goal is to study the peculiarities of digital culture and society, especially digital/online consumption and e-commerce.
The most important research questions are how digital marketing, ie connected marketing, transforms the current focus points of marketing, how it facilitates and ignite the digital paradigm shift in marketing, and what changes it induces in marketing strategy and its operational implementation.
Key research questions and focuses:
