Using Email Before, During and After Your Online Events

The introduction of GDPR in the EU last year took the marketing world by storm. Teams worked furiously to evaluate their data handling protocols and to construct new processes that are both effective and compliant.

But what does this new age of privacy mean for 2019 and beyond? In this session, we’ll reboot traditional demand generation tactics with fresh thinking that reflects the regulatory world we live in. Join Daniel Barber, CEO & Co-founder of DataGrail and David Pitta, CMO at BrightTALK for a discussion on:

- How stringent data protection regulations will continue to impact marketing
- Intent data, on-demand video programs, and legitimate interest
- Ideas on targeting your core prospects ethically and efficiently

There’s always more than one priority in B2B marketing.

As marketers, we strive to get the balance right to guide our actions for developing a strong brand, shaping our narrative in the marketplace, and creating demand from our marketing channels.

Increasingly, the digital behaviors of our ideal audience continue to fragment. No longer are they dedicated to a single device or source or input (voice vs text). This perpetual change has challenged decade old algorithms to better recognize their intentions. B2B marketers now face a new priority. How do we leverage Intent signals and prioritize the use in go-to-market efforts?

Join David Pitta, CMO at BrightTALK who has been leveraging various signals of intent data to prioritize resources, channels, and demand creation over the last 10 years.

In this session, he’ll cover:

-Looking at the layers and purpose of Intent signals in B2B
-Separating account from person-based intent
-Leveraging (the three C’s and P based intent) category, content, competitor, and product-based intent
-Activating and measuring business value from intent

Sales is great at speaking with prospects, uncovering their particular needs and pain points, and making adjustments on the fly based on what is resonating and what isn’t during a conversation. However, your website, marketing collateral and revenue marketing campaigns can’t make these same real-time adjustments based on body language, questions and other customer feedback—whatever potential customers see is what they get.

As the B2B landscape shifts and buyers do an increasing amount of research on their own, it’s more important than ever for tech execs to prioritize strong B2B messaging so they clearly articulate the value prop and compel prospects to engage. In this presentation, Christa Tuttle, CEO of Launch Marketing will guide participants through strategic approaches and best practices for building company messaging that gets right to the heart of what customers need and triggers revenue-generating actions.

Your marketing team is focused on efficiently delivering results, however as the buyer’s journey (if it can still be called that) becomes less linear and more complex, you’re facing ever-increasing stress on resources. To effectively reach and convert targets at scale, new perspectives and methodologies are crucial for balancing these competing needs.

In this live webinar, BrightTALK’s CMO David Pitta and Content Manager Trent Warrick will share how to maximize efficacy with authenticity, while scaling using intent data, and reserving your team’s resources for high-value activities.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

-How to identify authentic intent
-How to build your business by building trust
-How to scale through strategic use of tools and human capital

BrightTALK Customer BNY Mellon, represented by Adam Koster talks about how our content marketing and demand Generation platform has impacted their business and increased ROI.

With the rise of mobile and social, customers are more knowledgeable and empowered than ever. Their ability to access and share information anytime and anywhere gives them enormous control over their interactions with the companies they do business with—and they know it. As a result, they expect data-driven, personalized interactions at every stage of the marketing and sales funnel. One way marketers can adjust for the new normal is by leveraging big data and analytics—along with artificial intelligence, mixed reality and machine learning.

Attribution is no easy thing for today's marketeer. Everyone in the business is asking "what's the repeatable sales cycle and number of touches our buyer takes to get a deal over the line". Finance puts pressure on teams to report in near real-time what's working and what's not and without answers budgets are held up. Sales teams need to personalize outbound efforts so they can efficiently engage the buyer but marketing needs to guide what content and what channels work best.

Navigating the maze of attribution is both a qualitative and quantitative undertaking and unless you have the tech stack fully integrated, you may be missing key pieces of the puzzle. As daunting as it can be there is a step by step approach to follow and over time you achieve clarity. Join this webcast to learn best practice approaches to becoming a fully attributed marketing engine.

When you think of your customers as a jumble of demographics and lead scores, it's easy to miss the critical intent indicators that help you understand their pain points and needs on a deeper, more human level. For those of you who have started using intent signals to prioritize accounts or leads, you're likely challenged by the fact that anonymzed data without any context around where the engagement happened and for how long, makes it hard to turn intent signal into business growth. Discover the behavioral indicators that signal real intent for identifying and converting your ideal accounts and buyers. Learn how to use them to boost content and demand marketing success.
