Economic downturns can present significant challenges for organizations striving to maintain growth and profitability.

Join BrightTALK’s in-house production experts to dig into why video has emerged the undisputed champion of driving engagement and delivering ROI. They’ll discuss strategies for creating impactful content on a limited budget while answering the question on everyone’s mind – when paying for content gets trickier, is doubling-down on my investment the way to save my year?

Why Investing in Content Will Save Your Year

Step aside, home movies. When done well, modern video storytelling helps brands stand out in a noisy marketing landscape by eliciting emotion and directly impacting the decision-making process. Moreover, video-based content conveys a brand’s character in a matter of minutes - making it a vital component of any marketing strategy.

Join leaders from HubSpot and BrightTALK as they unpack the state of video from start to finish. They’ll dig into recent research to explore not only how marketers can create successful, impactful short and long-form video content that converts today, but also how to leverage the medium to scale growth in the future.

5 Video Marketing Trends to Test and Perfect

With so many available content types, building a demand generation campaign can feel overwhelming. What kind of content will best reach my audience at the right time with the right message? And if I get it wrong, do I need to start again from scratch? 

Fortunately for marketers, starting with video-based content as a basis for your demand generation campaigns can alleviate many of those concerns. Join us for an exclusive look into new research exploring the power of an omnichannel strategy to engage the right buyers whenever and however they want to consume content. From distribution channels to promotion strategies and derivative assets, you’ll learn how to maximize your campaigns with knock-out video content.

Fueling Better Demand Gen Outcomes with Video-Based Engagement

B2B marketers are always looking for ways to boost the success of their webinar programs. But, especially during promotions, is there a trick to capturing your audience’s attention as quickly as possible?

In this episode of BrightTALK’s Build a Better Webinar series, you’ll learn how to generate interesting, unique, and bold titles for your webinar programs and videos. From establishing the key themes to creating a little buzz, you’ll be sure to walk away with tips and tricks to spark your audience’s interest.

Build a Better Webinar: Engaging Titles

So you’ve defined your target accounts for your account-based marketing (ABM) campaign — now what? In this webinar, we’ll explore how to activate your ABM plan and engage your ideal accounts with hyper-personalization and precision. You’ll uncover key strategies for sales and marketing alignment and learn how to leverage technographics and intent data to unleash the most effective tactics for your target accounts and channels. 

Join Matt Hogan, HG Insights’ VP of Growth Marketing, and Jillian Coffin, TechTarget’s SVP, Customer Strategy & Enablement, as they share best-in-class strategies on:

• Going “Account-Based Everything” to redefine the Go-To-Market experience
• Leveraging technographics for account & campaign segmentation
• Using intent data to create hyper-personalized content & messaging
• Aligning sales and marketing teams to ensure ABM success

From Targets to Triumph: Key Strategies for Activating Your ABM Campaign

Webinars are incredibly powerful tools for B2B marketers, but sometimes a single webinar isn’t enough to sufficiently cover your chosen topic. And, if you want to be seen as an expert on the subject, you’ll want to make sure you’re providing a comprehensive overview.  

In this episode of BrightTALK’s Build a Better Webinar series, we’ll walk you through the value of developing a webinar series. From tips on topic selection to guidelines for branding your series, you’ll come away with actionable best practices for series development that will help you demonstrate your expertise and engage with your audience in a meaningful way.

Build a Better Webinar: Developing a Series

Successful ABM programs require thoughtful planning every step of the way. From collaborating with Sales on account selection to establishing the right campaign KPIs, there are a range of key milestones that ABM practitioners must hit to execute well. And yet, despite all that work, content and content delivery can often be an afterthought.

If the goal of ABM is to generate the right account engagement to drive revenue, the content format, targeting and delivery method is incredibly important. Join BrightTALK's Senior Director, Product Management & Marketing, David Edwards, and Senior Director of Marketing Programs, Olivia Dassler, for in-depth guidance on how webinars fuel ABM effectiveness. They’ll break down how buying teams actually want to consume content, ways to generate deeper engagement with your webinars, content creation best practices and tactics for activating sales around webinar engagement signals.

Better Webinars. Better Engagement. Better ABM.

By definition, ABM that doesn’t capture more revenue from target accounts doesn’t cut it. And, while there’s been a focus on increasing ABM’s marketing effectiveness, much less discussion has really drilled into the absolutely essential revenue team components of these target account strategies. To win with ABM, we all need to take a much closer look at how to help our revenue organizations do even better with these high-potential accounts.

Content should be at the core of any marketer’s demand generation strategy. Yet, crafting an effective content strategy that actually drives deep engagement with potential buyers is no simple feat.

You’ll hear how Akamai is addressing the content challenge, scaling content across different regions, and much more.

Harnessing Content to Strengthen your Go-to-Market

Webinars enable you to reach a wide audience, build thought leadership, and deliver content in engaging ways. Creating a pre-recorded version of a webinar can maximize these benefits by allowing extra time to troubleshoot presenter nerves, balance scheduling conflicts, and re-record any segments that didn’t quite work the first time around.  

In this episode of BrightTALK’s Build a Better Webinar series, we’ll explore the value of pre-recording webinar segments to include visuals and other elements that might be difficult to execute in real-time. From optimizing content in post-production to managing live interactions with your audience via polls and Q&A, we’ll cover the benefits of using pre-recorded webinars to captivate and inform your audience while saving time and energy.

Join members of TechTarget’s Marketing Programs team as they detail how an often-underutilized tactic, developing derivative content from existing assets, can improve a marketing team’s return on investment. You’ll come away with actionable best practices to help you identify the right content to repurpose and expand your reach by versioning your highest-performing pieces into other content formats.

This year BrightTALK’s Build a Better Webinar series continues with a look at key elements of successful storytelling. From tips to infuse the story arc into your script to examples of successful storytelling, we’ll cover best practices to build your script around your story – and capture your audiences’ attention.

Build a Better Webinar: Storytelling & Scripting

An effective account-based marketing (ABM) program isn’t created overnight  — programs can take months or even years to perfect. While ABM requires long-term commitment from your teams, if you measure realistically, you’ll see real measurable ROI from your program sooner rather than later. 

In this session, we’ll explore key KPIs to measure your long-term ABM success, together with the metrics to measure your short-term progress and keep your momentum going. And you’ll learn how high-quality, accurate data can help support these metrics.

Essential Metrics For Successful ABM

In today’s largely digital buying environment, webinars provide the opportunity to engage your audience, create valuable content, and reach new prospects for revenue growth. But with the rise in popularity of webinars, there's even greater competition to capture your audience's attention.

Join a panel of webinar experts as we dive into the role that successful webinars play in creating authentic, valuable, connections with your audience. We’ll share a roadmap to creating authentic B2B webinar content that embraces your brand voice to more successfully engage your ideal buyer.

A Roadmap to Authentic B2B Webinar Content

Buyer behavior has evolved rapidly in the last decade. B2B buyers have embraced video-based content consumption in recent years and the emergence of new technologies has made creating content easier and cheaper than ever before.
