Rapid emergence and widespread adoption of information and communication
technologies (ICTs) and digital media is having a significant impact on the
way people communicate and fulfil their socio-economic, emotional and
material needs. ICTs and digital media, such as emails, search engines,
websites and social media sites, are already being used widely by
individuals for a range of activities including searching daily news and
updates on critical events; connecting with family and friends; reviewing
products, services and places; selling and buying goods; accessing
transportation, tourism, and personal financial services; and workplace
management (Kapoor et al. 2017). Furthermore, radical increase in both
temporal and geographical reach is empowering consumers to exert influence
on brands, products, and services (Plume et al., 2016). These technologies
are also being harnessed by businesses for various purposes including
distribution and selling of goods, retailing of consumer services, customer
relationship management, and influencing consumer behaviour by employing
digital marketing practices (AlAlwan et al. 2017; Aswani et al., 2018;
Dwivedi et al. 2015, 2017; Ismagilova et al. 2017; Kapoor et al. 2016,
2017).

Technological advancement has resulted in evolution of consumer behaviour
through “digital metamorphosis” leading to the formation of “Digital
Consumer Culture”, which is a novel and largely unexplored area presenting
fertile ground for academics, researchers, and practitioners interested in
understanding this unfolding phenomenon. Following the first successful
event of this series in 2018 at Swansea University, UK, this 2nd
International Conference on Advances in Theory and Practice of Digital
Marketing (Conference theme - *Digital Marketing and Innovation in Emerging
Markets: Challenges, Opportunities and Research Agenda*) aims to bring
together a variety of disciplines and a scholarly community for the
advancement of knowledge regarding practice and research related to digital
and social media marketing. To achieve this goal, systematic literature
reviews leading to theory development and empirical papers employing
quantitative, qualitative, and/or critical methods are welcomed.
Consideration will be given to submissions focusing on digital marketing
and digital innovation specific theory building/development, measurement
