This paper aims to analyze the contributions of digital marketing strategies for the companies’ internationalization process, through the entry into new markets. It also has in its genesis the ambition of helping managers to define the best strategies to adopt in the process of digital internationalization. SEO, social networks, and content creation strategies are suggested.

This research opted for the qualitative interventionist methodology, using the single case study method and documentary review applied to the German children’s clothing market.

It was thus possible to conclude, at the end of this paper, that the characteristics of the market can positively influence the achievement of competitive advantage and identify/define the best internationalization strategies in the digital environment.
