Email to Lead in 10 Days

With Cisco telling us that 80% of web traffic will be video by the end of this year, it's clear that our target audiences want to be inspired and engaged when they self-educate online. The challenge for B2B marketers is that creating live webinars and videos is considered resource-intensive and hard to scale. This is a point of frustration for marketers as these content formats consistently rank among the most effective demand generation tactics out there.

After joining this Talk, you will have actionable insights on how to create webinars and videos at scale while driving more ideal audiences to your live and on-demand content. Plus, you'll get some benchmarks data on the conversion lifts you can expect in terms of pipeline contribution and conversions to bookings. Enjoy!

For the last 10+ years, we’ve been able to see first-hand how top-performing marketers use content and demand strategies for business growth. During this time, we shared their tips and tricks while also optimizing our own efforts for success.

Now, with a centralized team of 8, we’ll share how we invested $600,000 last year to achieve $20M in pipeline and $8M in closed-won business from webinars and videos hosted on BrightTALK.

In this talk, we’ll share learnings from a decade of webinar and video experience:
- Using a framework for: people + process = solutions

- Establishing an optimal mix of content + demand tactics to meet growth objectives
- Measuring success through lifecycle modeling and attribution reporting

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

With the rise of mobile and social, customers are more knowledgeable and empowered than ever.

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.
