The BrightTALK Academy features the fundamentals of executing webinars and marketing best practices to develop channel owners into advanced hosts.

AI-powered buyers are here. And their penchant for personalized prompts over traditional search is throwing typical B2B engagement models into a tailspin. 

With more hidden buyer activity and less opportunities for direct connection, B2B marketers must make a major strategic shift: Up their indirect influence. Generate trust. And successfully fill the confidence gaps AI leaves behind.

Based on new research and key intel, join our expert from Informa TechTarget & a guest speaker from Forrester to find your way back to buyers in the new zero-click reality.

Zero Click Rising? Trust-Building Approaches for Growing Influence.

Volatility is back with a vengeance. Between on-and-off tariffs, mounting recession fears, and rising geo-political tensions, industries across the board are either bracing for impact — or already picking up the pieces. 

But we’ve seen this movie before. And the lessons we’ve learned from the brands that grew through the turbulence of the COVID-19 era ring true: When circumstances change by the hour, only the agile will succeed.  

In this episode of our B2B Content Brilliance webinar series, learn from Lieu Pham (VP of Strategy, Brand & Content Group, Informa TechTarget) and Travis Gonzalez (Strategy Director, Brand & Content, Informa TechTarget) on how today’s content marketers can stay data-driven and strategically nimble to meet their audiences with reactive, hyper-current solutions.

Volatility’s Return: Pulling Off Reactive Content With Real-Time Data

Buyer behavior is changing at warp speed. Between the rise of LLMs, AI search and demographic shifts, a future where big buys are made with zero sales reps involved may not be far off.  

In fact, Gartner reports that over 75% of B2B buyers now prefer a rep-free sales experience.  

While Gartner may be overstating the case, especially in complex Enterprise Tech, in this age of self-service, successfully wooing buying groups will depend tremendously on delivering can’t-ignore content tailored to their real-time problems and preferences.  

Enter “ownable conversations” — an innovative approach to capturing buying group attention. The idea is to deploy hyper-current, untold narratives only your brand can tell. These conversations aren’t simply differentiated; they’re engineered to captivate. They stand out and spark curiosity. They drive the kind of energetic conversions your most sought-after accounts will want to have with you.  

In this session, you’ll learn how to: 
- Adapt your ABM messaging strategy to address a self-service buyer mindset 
- Use real-time data to uncover your target buying groups’ constantly evolving priorities, so you can create provocative narratives that grab their interest 
- Productively deliver compelling, multi-channel materials that demand attention, earn trust, and accelerate conversion to pipeline

Ownable Conversations: Winning with ABM in the Self-Service Era

In our information-saturated landscape, research-backed content is no longer optional—it's expected. But, while better data adds credibility and depth to your webinars, even seasoned marketers can struggle to shape dry, complex research into something that actually engages an audience. 

In this episode of our Build a Better Webinar series, you'll learn how to elevate mundane research findings into powerful visual stories that both support your talking points and boost your audience engagement. Whether you're an experienced presenter struggling with lackluster data slides or a newcomer looking to elevate your webinar content from the start, you’ll walk away with actionable strategies you can use today to make your research-backed content both credible AND compelling.

Build a Better Webinar: Data Visualization

In-person events are back, and B2B organizations are pouring more time, budget and resources into delivering the authentic connections and immersive experiences that only live events can provide. But if the impact of your event ends when the venue clears out, you could be leaving significant pipeline and revenue on the table. 

That’s why today’s top B2B tech marketers understand the importance of extending the ROI of their event investments by transforming in-person moments into engaging content pieces that keep delivering results long after the booth comes down. In this session, recorded at Infosecurity Europe 2025, one of the industry's premier cybersecurity trade shows, Informa TechTarget’s Head of Scale Product, Byrony Seifert, shares actionable strategies on how to capture, repurpose and distribute your event content to fuel ongoing ABM plays. Learn how to maximize your event investment by creating targeted digital assets that engages the most sought-after accounts and increases revenue potential.

Repurpose with Purpose: Turning Events into Always-On ABM Fuel

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.

Build a Better Webinar: Pre-Recording Segments

Today’s buyers consume, on average, 12 pieces of content when researching a purchase. When producing relevant and valuable messaging is this critical, how do you create the right assets to address every prospective buyer’s needs at every stage?

Join us as we demonstrate how to build a well- balanced asset library that blends rich and static media throughout the buyer’s journey.

The State of B2B Marketing: What 20 Million Leaders Want

The best webinars tell a clear and concise story that captures an audience’s attention. You may be a seasoned presenter, but do you use the elements of good story telling to connect emotionally with your audience? 

This episode of BrightTALK’s Build a Better Webinar series looks 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

When competition is fierce, tech marketers are eager for ways to stand out to convey their corporate message and capture the attention of busy buyers. And what’s a better way to do that than employing video-based content to tell your story?  

Great video helps to create an immersive and engaging experience that leaves your audience wanting to learn more about your brand. Join Informa TechTarget’s Jon Mycroft, VP of Integrated Publishing, as he sits down with Matt Harris, Director at BrightTALK Studios to explore how rich-media content can supercharge your content marketing strategy by helping you build stronger, more authentic connections with your audience. Plus, get a glimpse of the latest B2B video marketing trends, as well as practical tips for unleashing the power of video to engage and convert tech buyers.

Exploring the Art of B2B Video Marketing

In today’s competitive digital marketing landscape, it’s not enough to just tout the features and functionality of your product or solution. What buyers remember as they move through the purchase process is whether you’re able to meet their actual functional, emotional and social needs. In other words, what clear customer promise can you make in your marketing messaging that both adheres to those needs and is one you can keep?

In this episode of our B2B Content Brilliance series, John Steinert (CMO, Informa TechTarget) talks with Jann Martin Schwarz (Senior Fellow, LinkedIn and Founder, The B2B Institute) about the importance of customer promises, how insights can be used to identify a promise that customers will value and who needs to be involved to make sure the motion is fulfilled.

Creating a Memorable Marketing Message that Lasts

Effective panel presentations are an essential tool for B2B marketers. But, moderating panels is not as easy as it seems: staying engaged with the audience, keeping the conversation going, asking questions, managing slides, incorporating audience questions … it can get complicated, fast. 

In this episode of BrightTALK’s Build a Better Webinar series, we’ll coach you through creating an engaging dialogue with your panelists, whether you’re bringing in external subject matter experts or showcasing internal stakeholders’ expertise. From determining your session details to recruiting relevant speakers, we’ll discuss best practices you can adopt to help you simplify the process and set you up for success.

Build a Better Webinar: Moderating Panels

The webinar. It’s the bread and butter of any marketing campaign that educates prospects effectively and moves them down the sales funnel. But in a world where B2B professionals consume and participate in video experiences daily, “talking heads” won’t make your content stand out. How can marketers create webinars that grab—and keep—the attention of the people they need to engage?  

Join BrightTALK's production experts as they take you behind the scenes with The Studio, the webinar series pulling back the curtain on B2B production in the marketing world. In this episode, we’ll talk about strategies big and small that marketers can use to differentiate their webinar content. From speaker coaching and up-leveling production quality to smarter storytelling and distribution tactics, our experts will share plenty of tips to help you create webinars worth watching.

How Can I Make My Webinars...Not Boring?

Poorly organized webinar slides can compromise the effectiveness of your presentation, distract from your message and overwhelm your viewers. So, when presenting a complicated, dense, or downright dry topic, how can you ensure your presentation design will successfully engage your audience?  
  
In this episode of BrightTALK’s Build a Better Webinar series, we’ll walk you through best practices for organizing your content to create more strategic presentations. Starting with a short critique on what not to do, we’ll then dive into a checklist of things to watch for to ensure you don’t fall into any bad design traps. By the end of this session, you will be able to gather, organize and refine your information to more effectively tell your story.

Build a Better Webinar: Presentation Design

Part of what makes creating great content so challenging for marketers is the need to continuously engage and excite buyers. Finding new story ideas within the confines of a market, topic or product can feel near impossible – and failed attempts often result in decreased engagement. Similarly, journalists are constantly on the hunt for their next story or angle within the confines of their beat. What if there was a way to shift our thinking from merely creating to discovering compelling stories, much like a journalist does? 

In this episode of B2B Content Brilliance, Fiona O’Connor (Sr. Manager, Informa TechTarget) sits down with Bridget Botelho (Editorial Director, News Department, Informa TechTarget) to learn more about a journalist’s approach to finding stories and how B2B marketers can adopt a similar mindset to elevate their content, drive more engagement and convert buyers.

Think Like a Journalist: Finding Great Story Ideas

“Quality might not always be the right answer, but it’s always the right question.” As B2B buyers’ hunger for video content continues to grow, many marketing teams are looking for better ways to fuel their video content engine – and, often, the search for quality is a driving force. Yet there are other factors to consider in the quest to create video content that meets your objectives, whether you’re creating video in house or looking for a partner to fill the gaps.

Join Susan Smith and Jeff Kunken (Informa TechTarget) and BrightTALK's Greg Johnson as they discuss how video quality and content goals intersect and what you need to know to choose the right video services. They’ll tap into decades of combined experience to share how to set the right objectives for your video content and set your team up for success. Plus, they’ll break down different types of video services and budgeting strategies, how a good vendor compares to a true partner, and when to engage them.

The Quality Question: Vendors, Partners and Understanding Your Video Objectives

Quick: you only have seconds to capture a buyer’s attention. What story do you tell? That’s the challenge facing marketers today. In a noisy marketplace, how can you create content that makes your brand stand out in less time than it takes to microwave a burrito? 

Join BrightTALK's production experts as they take you behind the scenes with The Studio, the webinar series pulling back the curtain on B2B production in the marketing world. In this episode, we’re sharing best practices for using video and animation to maximize your social media strategy. From managing the classic “thought leadership” vs. “sales-y” tightrope to developing modular content that can go the distance, our experts will share plenty of tips and tricks to help you stop the scroll.

Video that Clicks: Creating Content for B2B Social Media

Webinars have become an essential tool for B2B marketers to engage buyers and share valuable information. But when it comes to generating registrations, maximizing participation, and delivering an overall seamless experience, how do you make sure your webinars are truly user friendly?

In this episode of BrightTALK’s Build a Better Webinar series, we’ll walk you through how to remove friction from your webinars so your audience can focus on connecting with your business. From simplifying the registration process to maintaining consistent branding throughout, you’ll come away with a framework for the ideal webinar user journey.

Build a Better Webinar: Optimizing Audience Experience

Getting the most out of content is crucial for marketing organizations to deliver the most value to their audience. But generating and distributing high-quality content across an increasing number of channels is challenging, especially if you’re operating with a reduced team or budget.

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.
