Having a great concept and plan for producing a video project is only the beginning. With any rich media project, thinking through the objective and audience from the beginning is key to getting ROI. Equal emphasis should be placed on the eyes for the project as the project itself. The goals of the project must be specific and defined, with distribution and production following this.

In this session, Simon Gerzina and Jeff Kunken from BrightTALK will discuss how to take a holistic approach to planning your video projects with an emphasis on the distribution strategy to achieve better results and greater ROI. You will also hear from marketers on how their KPIs and goals directly shape webinar and video strategy.

In today’s B2B marketplace, competition is fierce. Buyers fall prey to one-size-fits-all marketing campaigns and pushy sales calls that often leave them feeling confused and uncertain in their decision. As the marketing landscape evolves, the word authenticity has become more and more applicable.

So, how do you prove your commitment to the customer through genuine content, ultimately winning their hearts and minds? In this live webinar, BrightTALK’s CMO David Pitta and VP, Product Marketing Val-Pierre Genton explain why authenticity matters and how to leverage this concept across your content, marketing, and sales processes.

In this webinar you’ll learn:
· How to tell authentic stories with your marketing content

· How to ground your decisions on authentic results

From enterprise to small business, running a successful content marketing operation to support your business is laborious. Whether you’re an individual or a large team, by following these steps you can create a program that drives powerful engagement with brand content.

As B2B marketing evolves, new data products are making content marketing more personalized than ever.

Join Tom Campbell, Global Marketing Operations at Yellowfin and David Pitta, CMO at BrightTALK for a live video talk exploring three often overlooked ways at collecting and connecting go-to-market data signals to drive business growth.

Webinars are a proven tactic for driving engaged, qualified leads but are often executed poorly or without the audience in mind. A poor presentation can have the opposite effect intended if marketers and presenters don’t approach the webinars that deliver value, insights, and authenticity to your audience.

NS1 turned to BrightTALK to acquire new leads, and nurture those leads already in their database with engaging thought leadership webinar and video content.

BrightTALK allowed NS1 to be more efficient and increase their webinar cadence, and the leads coming in were of higher quality.

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

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.

In B2B marketing, acquiring and inspiring prospects and customers can feel like a frustrating guessing game, but that doesn't have to be the case. Join BrightTALK's very own Val-Pierre Genton for a dialogue on one of the most important topics in marketing. You'll walk away from this session with insights on:
Truly defining your audience. We'll look beyond cookie-cutter personas and help you get into the mindset of your buying committee.
Tapping into the intent signals that really matter via proprietary, first-party data and key sources that give you the full picture.
Putting it all together. Turn intent into engagement in a few steps.

Increasingly, the digital behaviors of our ideal audience are fragmented. No longer are they dedicated to a single device or source or input. This perpetual change has challenged decade-old algorithms to better recognize buyers' intentions. B2B sales and marketing teams now face a new priority. How do we leverage these new intent signals and prioritize them in go-to-market efforts?

Join David Pitta, CMO at BrightTALK and Tanya Dracolakis, Sales and Marketing Operations at BrightTALK to learn how to operationalize first-party intent data.

In this session, we’ll discuss:

- Layers and purpose of intent signals in B2B
- Separating account from person-based intent
- Enabling Sales Development to activate intent-based lead products
- Measuring business value and ROI from these investments

Creating videos that make an impact and drive business growth is easier said than done. Most marketing teams are skilled to tell stories via webinars, social, articles, white papers, collateral and eBooks. Video-based storytelling requires expertise that is rarely available in-house.

Join this talk to understand how to elevate your storytelling and brand with impactful video.

Today, B2B marketers have access to data that their left brain would only have dreamed of a generation ago. The age of “I know 50% of my marketing spend is wasted, I just don’t know which 50%” is behind us. If anything, marketers are drowning in too much data, courtesy of ~7,000 martech vendors.

Powered by technology, automation is allowing marketing teams to simplify and scale like never before. That said, we’re in danger of over-automating and losing the human touch. Let us remember that purchasing decisions are made by engaging the mind (left brain - IQ) as much as emotions (right brain - EQ).

So which data matters when you’re crafting inspiring stories, trying to reach new audiences and getting pressure to acquire more customers? How is it even possible to make authentic connections while you’re automating for scale?

Join David Pitta (CMO) and Val-Pierre Genton (VP Product Marketing) as they share proven strategies so you can do the same for your business. Their insights draw on viewer data across millions of professionals engaging with webinars and videos on BrightTALK.
