Abstract
In the study, digital marketing was examined in relation to brand equity. The focus was on specific social media platforms that can be used as platforms for online digital marketing. Brand awareness and brand image, two constructs of brand equity, were examined in the study. In the quantitative research approach, convenience sampling was employed. An online survey was conducted among students at the University of the Witwatersrand. 263 samples were assessed and analysed using SPSS software. As a result of the study, the link between digital marketing and brand equity was confirmed. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube have positive correlations with brand equity, as measured by social media brand awareness, which improves brand image. In order to increase brand visibility, organizations should consider using social networking sites to execute digital marketing campaigns for brand awareness. Other geographical regions can be used to duplicate the study.
