Quirk's eMarketing Glossary

Are you just trying to grow your online business and getting swamped in a sea of buzzwords and jargon? eMarketing is full of them and although they are often used excessively, sometimes they are needed to appropriately explain something, or so the eMarketers will tell you.

Well fear not! To combat this wave of wordiness we have put together an eMarketing glossary to help you understand.

Looking for something that doesn't seem to be here? We can't do it alone Quirk Fans! Help us out by sending us your eMarketing related definitions.

What Our Clients Say

I attended the WebPR conference in JHB in March. Just a quick note to all of you at Quirk with HUGE congratulations – this was one of the first conferences I have attended where I was riveted for the entire day and took away a lot of new knowledge. What you are doing for the industry is highly commendable and it’s a pity more PR professionals are not harnessing the power of the web. I’m a web freak and as such we had already started implementing more online driven exposure with a number of clients but the tools I took away from the discussions will allow us to push this medium a great deal more.

Thanks again and keep up the good work! - Melissa A, Black Khaki
