We live in a high-tech, speedy, snappy, modern world. A world where Facebook has over 1.5 billion users per month and one in which, according to Statista, there will be 2.56 billion smartphone users by 2018.

There’s no trouble with that – evolution is inevitable and keeps us learning. It is also something that can help a business skyrocket; everything is interconnected, which makes it so much easier to communicate with and reach new potential customers. Let’s look at ten stats that will prove just how important digital marketing is:
