Digital Marketing Case Studies are a great way to learn more about marketing – especially in the B2B sector.
But impressive digital marketing case studies are sometimes hard to find.
One reason for that is that it’s often hard for a marketer to identify whether these case studies apply to your exact case before you dive into the actual case study itself and whether they provide actionable advice.
Maybe I can help a little: This post will present 9 digital marketing case studies complete with a short outline of the actual case.
Before you read on - we have various resources that show you exactly how to use social networks to gain massive traffic and leads. For instance, check out the following:

I’ve curated these – and I was a bit selective: I wanted to get a list of useful digital marketing case studies that represented very different scenarios, and I believe I have achieved that. The focus of this post is not to present a ridiculous amount of useless case studies, but to present different cases in different scenarios, with enough data available to be useful.
I hope, I’ve succeeded.

2. Shipserv: Impressing and Early Social Media & Content Marketing Case Study in the Maritime Industry

With dedicated landing pages and an optimized funnel, DocuSign was able to achieve impressive results.
