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

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.

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

When it comes to B2B video content production, design and marketing folks often throw around the saying, “perfection is the enemy of progress.” But when we think about visual content, great execution goes hand-in-hand with success. Creators must then find a way to balance quality with scale, amidst the pressures of limited time and budget.  

In this webinar, join Fiona O’Connor (Sr. Manager, TechTarget) and Ben Hillman (Executive Producer, Paddle) as they discuss the realities of B2B video production and what it takes to create great videos. Discover how Ben and his team at Paddle build high-quality content to attract and engage their target audience, so you can bring these tactics into your own video program to generate real ROI, no matter your budget.

Perfection vs. Scale: Achieving Balance in B2B Video Production

If you’re a content marketer, you can probably relate to that feeling of being on a hamster wheel – focused and working hard but knowing the pace is unsustainable – and needing to find an off ramp. You’re under pressure to keep your content fresh, generate content in different formats, personalize content for target buying teams, or just generate more and more assets. Or maybe you’re challenged to come up with new ideas and topics that will resonate with your audience. You (rather quickly) surmise that you don’t like being a hamster.

With all the hype around artificial intelligence, you’re probably wondering if generative AI (GenAI) can solve your content creation problems. However, many B2B tech buyers are wary of AI-generated content and, in response, are leaning into expert-authored content. So, if AI isn’t the panacea (and you don’t want to be a hamster), how do you get a sustainable stream of the right content to engage your target audience and move them swiftly to a decision to purchase your solution?

In this episode of our B2B Content Brilliance series, Lauren Whitehouse (Enterprise Strategy Group) and Susan Smith (TechTarget) talk about “classic” content – its characteristics, why you need it and how to create it for each stage of the buyer’s journey. They’ll look at the role of subject matter experts in creating this type of content and how it can make your content engine more efficient.

Classic is Cool: Lessons in Content Marketing

In today’s highly cluttered and competitive vendor landscape, marketing leaders need thoughtful strategies for customer engagement and retention. Without strong brand recognition and clear differentiation from your competitors, your customer relationships are likely at risk. 
 
Join us as Senior Director of Market Research, Corey DeFreese, and VP of Product Innovation, Research and Insights, Katie Graybeal, tap into TechTarget’s Media Consumption survey data to unravel the intricate tapestry of vendor loyalty, customer satisfaction and differentiation in 2024. In this episode we’ll cover:  

-The realities of vendor loyalty today and the top reasons buyers switch vendors.  
-Understanding the real-time topics and trends that your buyers are engaging with, and how you can use these clues to shape your retention strategy.  
-Top purchase disruptors to be aware of and how to keep buyers satisfied.  
-Ways to use vendor loyalty insights to create a more effective content strategy.

Switch or Stay: Understanding Tech Vendor Loyalty and Customer Retention

A great presenter can elevate a brand faster than almost anything else, but identifying the right speakers can be difficult for even the most experienced program planners. Plus, once you've identified your perfect presenter, how do you even get them on board?

In this episode of BrightTALK’s Build a Better Webinar series, we’ll dive into all things speaker recruitment. From identifying and cultivating both internal and external presenters to templates for making and tracking your requests, we’ll cover everything you need to build and maintain a bench of expert talent.

Build a Better Webinar: Recruiting Speakers

In B2B, the real function of marketing isn’t to directly deliver more deals, it’s to increase the probability of sales closing more deals. Provocative? We don’t think so. As B2B marketers, our methodologies and toolsets have been developed to create the perfect conditions for healthier pipelines, not to manage the pipelines themselves. In nerdy analytics terms, we’re collaborating with others in the GTM in an end-to-end process that connects probabilistic and deterministic methodologies together. Given where buyers are today, we believe that by internalizing this understanding of what marketing does best, it will help empower us to deliver better marketing. But first and foremost, it’s only by understanding buyers better that we can best drive the B2B marketing changes necessary. 

Beginning with a look at the very latest research, in this session, Kerry Cunningham (6sense’s renowned thought leader), and John Steinert (TechTarget CMO) will take advantage of their companies’ new partnership to discuss the very real opportunities marketers have today to be more effective. They will further explain probabilistic and deterministic concepts and then provide specific guidance on how the latest data and tools can help drive useful changes for better GTM results. 

Viewers will come away with valuable insights, including: 
- An understanding of the deterministic/probabilistic dichotomy in B2B marketing. 
- Practical knowledge on how to incorporate these concepts into effective tools and tactics. 
- Strategies for understanding buying groups and how to engage with them early in their journey to influence decisions effectively.

Picking Up What They’re Putting Down: Get the Most Out of Your Buyers’ Signals

In this edition of B2B Content Brilliance, TechTarget CMO John Steinert is joined by Chief Creative Officer Victoria Azarian (Cannes Lions, Effie, One Show). One look at her work and you’ll understand why it’s accelerated millions of dollars (and likely billions) in value for clients and for their customers.  

Our latest strategic session in this series examines the importance (and challenges) of using graphic design to help successfully communicate promises of value. The goal is to aid marketing and business leaders like you in identifying substantive design gaps and the impediments standing between where you are and where you want to be. We look to help you better recognize these, consider them, and articulate them to other leaders towards successful implementation of business-critical improvements.

Good Design is Good for Business
