How to Leverage Twitter from Tools to Tweetchats

If you're like two out of three marketers, you recognize that personalizing content is critical; but you also know that it's damn hard to do. Aligning the buyer's journey to customers' growing appetite for personalized experiences is easier said than done--or is it?

Join Uberflip CMO Randy Frisch as he presents an actionable framework for persuading prospects through the power of personalized content in acquisition, sales enablement, and ABM.

In this webinar, you will learn:
- How content fuels personalization and how to approach developing and organizing it at scale
- To deliver truly relevant content to customers and prospects across different channels, formats, and touch points
- Tips on using customer and prospect scores to trigger personalized ads and landing pages—and how to distribute specific content across channels

As they look to build out their communities to appeal to a wide range of members, companies must rethink the types and formats they use for delivering relevant content. Webinars, videos and buying guides that directly cover products and services are always in play, but to stay relevant and sticky, companies must also offer value-added information, including peer reviews and independent analysis from industry experts, case studies that
show exactly how new products have worked for other
businesses, and best-practices advice on professional development and wider market trends.

Marketers should also encourage collaboration among the members of their communities and enable information sharing as much as possible. It’s clear that buyers rely heavily upon these peer reviews before making a decision.

Finally, marketers must work with analysts and other non-biased third parties to get their input on the market overall, and their business specifically, to help prospective customers make well-informed decisions.

Account-Based Marketing (ABM) is the strategy that just about every B2B marketer is either trying to ramp or at least trying to understand in 2018. ABM content is a critical piece of the puzzle. How do you create effective content that works with ABM tactics but is also scalable? We’re excited to interview one of the foremost ABM thought leaders, Sangram Vajre, Chief Evangelist and Co-Founder of Terminus, about this very topic.

BrightTALK marketer interviews Terminus Cofounder Sangram Vajre on Account Based Marketing strategies using Uberflip.

In this lively interview, Sangram will dive into:
What ABM content is and why it’s different
How to tackle the right amount of customization and personalization for the right tier of accounts
Great examples of how marketing teams have been successful with their ABM content approach

B2B marketers have long invested in thought leadership content to demonstrate expertise, fuel issue-based campaigns, and equip sales for higher level conversations.

All too often, however, we still struggle to reach the C-suite. Senior executives are more important than ever for B2B marketers, but they are notoriously the toughest audience to engage. Their time is short, their BS meters are on high alert, and they ignore all but the most compelling content.

The good news, however, is that senior executives are anxious for new ideas, and they’re happy to engage when approached in the right way. Join ITSMA’s Rob Leavitt to explore highlights of five specific ways in which leading companies stand apart from the rest in developing and using thought leadership content to engage at the executive level and drive reputation, relationships, and revenue.

As marketers, we understand how important it is to produce and share relevant and timely content. But what good does your important message or carefully curated blog post do if no one can find it?

Content Distribution is an often overlooked component of any marketing strategy, especially as it pertains to webinar promotion. A great message will go nowhere unless properly positioned to spread far and wide. Before spending hours or days working on a presentation no one will attend, develop a solid plan of attack for getting those invites out and your audience RSVP’d.

Join CareerBuilder’s Hilary Lunkes as she explores the relationships between content distribution, development, and measurement of reach & effectiveness. Learn how to set yourself up for success with a bulletproof promotional strategy by clearly defining your audience, timeline, messaging, and channels for distribution.
