Digital disruption has rapidly changed consumer's buying behaviour and with the power of social media, many brands and companies are recruiting digital marketers to handle their social brand reputation as well as customer engagement and services. With the availability of technology and apps development, many working processes can be redesigned for independent agencies or digital marketers to work in co-working space or from home.
