Emeryville, California (PRWEB) November 06, 2013 -- Webmarketing123, two-time veteran of the Inc. 500 and SF Fast 100 lists, today released the 2014 State of Digital Marketing Report. More than 500 U.S. marketers were polled about their current and future plans for SEO, SEM, social media, mobile, and content marketing.

“Webmarketing123 works across all digital marketing channels,” says Taylor, “to not only prove ROI, but drive revenue. This is how we ensure our clients maximize their marketing investment, and deliver results that exceed expectations.”
