What is digital content creation?

A content strategy for print media does not always translate to success on digital platforms. Businesses and organizations need an online presence. Digital content creation is the process of producing written or visual content specifically for digital channels. The process of digital content creation includes developing an idea, identifying the best format for delivery, producing the copy, audio, video or visual assets, and publishing the content online. Content can be distributed to target audiences through social media, websites, and other digital channels. Those interested in digital marketing can specialize in graphic design, copywriting, email writing, video creation, and search engine optimization (SEO), although many digital content creators may be required to do all of these tasks.
