Taking the floor, Wissem Oueslati, IT and E-commerce expert and specialist with several years of experience in this area said that the world of online business has grown and has been adapted to new technologies. He explained how he is endeavouring in his mission to help keep businesses informed and up to date by giving lectures and attending different events related to the field of E-commerce.

Wissem Oueslati placed emphasis on the fact that the digital marketer should always be open to learning news strategies about E-commerce because this area is constantly evolving through innovation on a daily basis and qualifying oneself as being an expert is an end to learning.

In this event, the E-commerce expert indicated that E-commerce in the digital world is a culture and not techniques through the IT development and programming. It is rather a whole philosophy advising the attendees to always lend a listening ear and follow the new trends.

Wissem Oueslati explained how digital transformation and progress is changing the future of E-commerce. Today E-commerce had changed drastically to become a completely safe online transaction, he underlined.

He noted that online shopping is gaining popularity, by creating opportunities for the brand new start-ups.

In turn,  Abir Jlassi Sdiri, International Expert in digital marketing and consultant, spoke in her briefing about personal branding. She mentioned the way to increase social proof as a student using different social media channels like Linkedin.

She said that personal branding is the process of creating a recognizable professional name and reputation for the future entrepreneurs, explaining the combination of presenting oneself through the various means of communication and the value the entrepreneur provides to his social network.

Besides, she noted that the process of personal branding includes the creation and the development of branding statements, as well as other features of self-presentation, like business cards, professional social network, advertisements, and online marketing which is an increasingly powerful way for anyone to go global.

Mohamed Hammami consultant in marketing strategy made an analysis of marketing defining it as the creation of a need saying that there are different definitions of marketing but the useful definition of marketing is the creation of a need.

He indicated that digital marketing is the use of the internet, mobile devices, social media, search engines, display advertising and other channels to reach consumers. It is a way of promoting products and services, he noted.

Some marketing experts consider digital marketing as an entirely new process that requires a new way of approaching customers and new ways of understanding how customers behave compared to traditional marketing.
