This study aims to analyze effective digital marketing strategies for start-ups to build brand awareness and increase competitiveness in the market. This study employs a literature review to analyze various publications related to digital marketing and its implementation in start-up companies. The results demonstrate that the appropriate combination of digital marketing strategies can enhance brand recognition by up to 70% within the first year of a company's operations.
