    Both digital marketing and Social Media marketing are bit different and as different perspective.

    One can pursue either of it.Though social media marketing comes under digital marketing itself.Social media marketing is a part of Digital Marketing.

    What do you mean by Digital Marketing -

    Digital marketing adheres to the same concepts as traditional offline marketing. It uses consumer data to identify a business's target demographic and deliver the most relevant messaging possible.

    Digital marketing involves the promotion of products or services through various digital channels and technologies, primarily those associated with the internet.

    If you're wondering whether to choose Digital Marketing or Social Media Marketing, I'd say it depends on how broad you want your skills to be. I did my digital marketing course from IIM SKILLS, and it covered everything from SEO, SEM, content, email marketing to social media marketing. Because of that, I felt more confident handling multiple areas rather than focusing only on social media. The course also had live sessions, one-on-one mentorship, hands-on projects, a two-month paid internship, and 100% placement support. From my experience, learning full digital marketing gives you more flexibility and better career opportunities.

    if you are looking for a broarder roles and long-term growing potential, then go with gitial marketing, or if you know and really intrested in social media marketing you can go with it, but the growth is restricted here. 

     

    so, if you changed your mind and think of selecting a digital marketing course that provides 100% placeme
