Aim: This is your main goal. It's like saying, "I want to understand how digital ads affect what people buy."

Objectives: These are the steps you take to reach your aim. It's like planning, "First, I'll find out which digital ads people see the most. Next, I'll check if these ads make people want to buy things. Then, I'll see if people feel more connected to brands because of the ads. Lastly, I'll suggest ways for shops to use digital ads better."

This can apply to all research you wish to undertake.

Bonus: A PhD is a unique challenge, embrace what you can within and beyond your institution. Whatever you do, we hope you enjoy your journey.
