Marketing experts share tips and best practices for achieving success with email, social media, demand generation, mobile marketing and other trending topics.

Today’s empowered tech buyer is doing more before they ever engage with a sales rep. Exactly what are they doing? Which platforms are they visiting to collect pre-purchase research? With which types of content are they engaging? And how can you, as a technology marketer or seller, capture their attention before they are ready to talk to you. In this session, we’ll recap the APAC findings from TechTarget’s newly released Media Consumption survey and put those findings to the test by asking senior technology leaders in the region how the conclusions compare to their companies’ IT purchasing processes.

How B2B Technology Buyers Actually Buy: The Changing Purchasing Dynamic in APAC

Modern B2B marketing and sales teams face more pressure than ever before to drive true buyer engagement and maximize revenue opportunities. To drive the most pipeline and closed business, revenue teams must continue to adapt how they identify, pursue and manage real opportunities. 

Join our esteemed panel of demand gen experts as they explore the shortcomings of the traditional lead gen model and offer a framework for always-on, adaptable demand creation. In this keynote, you’ll walk away with:

*How to reorganize demand activities around buying groups rather than individuals.
*Best practices for aligning marketing and sales teams for better end-to-end opportunity management.
*How organizations are achieving almost 2x conversion rates and accelerated pipeline by focusing on buying groups.

Modern Demand Strategies for Maximizing Opportunities in Today's Market

Marketing to the C-Suite is more important than ever amid the continuous disruptions of the post-pandemic economy. 
 
Executive-level decision makers are moving faster and shifting strategic focus in ways that require solution providers to keep up or get out of the way. But many organizations struggle to connect and build trusted relationships at the CXO level, thus limiting their ability to achieve the trusted partner status that clients value most.
 
Join Rob Leavitt for a deep dive on executive engagement that builds on Momentum’s extensive research with CXO decision makers and hands-on experience with executive engagement programs at some of the world’s leading B2B firms. The session will explore practical approaches to strengthening executive engagement in five critical areas for C-Suite success:
 
*Identifying and understanding the executives that matter most
*Creating content that speaks to executive priorities
*Enabling sales to engage at the executive level
*Designing the right mix of executive-level activities and experiences 
*Measuring performance for continuous improvement

Deepening Executive Engagement: Accelerating Demand with C-Suite Connections

Recently there’s been a lot of discussion in ABM and demand gen circles about buying teams – particularly around how to identify, engage and help bring the different members together. For Sales, the concept of targeting buying teams isn’t new. Sellers have long worked hard to influence buying group constituencies more effectively. In this webinar, we’ll hear two sales experts discuss how they use multi-threading to accelerate their own success. Your sellers will find this useful in optimizing their own approaches. Your marketers will gain insight into how their efforts can best support and complement sales actions.

Multi-Threading: How Sales Acts on Buying Teams

Historically, classic demand gen approaches, like marketing qualified leads (MQLS) and BANT (Budget, Authority, Need, Timing) have been at the center of how marketing organizations evaluate their effectiveness. Yet as buyers have changed – both in the number of purchasing decision makers and buying journeys overall – these approaches have not evolved to match the needs of the current B2B landscape. The result? Marketing and sales teams are leaving money on the table.

In this session, Terry Flaherty, Principal Analyst at Forrester will discuss where these classic demand gen approaches fail and why they may be limiting your teams’ actual revenue potential. You’ll hear recommendations on what changes in thinking need to be made with Marketing organizations and how teams can begin to implement those changes.

The MQL is Dead: Why and How to Focus on Buying Groups

In the digital age, the benefits of webinar-based demand gen strategies are clear. Companies of varying sizes and structures are tapping into this engaging content format to break down complex ideas, draw in prospects, and grow customer relationships. But is the success of a webinar program just about sharing great content? 

In reality, a true revenue-driving webinar program requires advanced planning and coordination across your entire commercial team. Join members of BrightTALK’s closely integrated marketing, sales, and customer success teams for a deep-dive into our demand generation playbook. They’ll talk through how to align during every stage of a webinar program to drive the maximum revenue potential from video-based engagement.

The ABCs of Webinar Lead Generation

As ABM matures, most B2B GTM teams are looking to apply the thinking more broadly across their practices and at greater scale. Likewise, while many practices don’t have the resources for a dedicated one-to-few ABM approach, they do have the need and desire to incorporate ABM principles where they can, to drive better results from specific types of accounts. In this session, we will look at how intent data supports the application of ABM principles within different functions and tactic sets for better outcomes across your ICP.

Refining Your Focus: Your ICP, Hybrid ABM and Intent

Think about your buyers. Buying a solution for their company is a complicated, risky proposition. That’s the reality that you’re selling into – by helping buyers move through the research process, great content accelerates it and increases your chances of winning. So what exactly is that content? What type of content do buyers prefer? And how can your team do better to produce them?

Join TechTarget’s Shamim Narayan and BrightTALK’s Sam Weller as they break down the latest data on content engagement in APAC. They’ll dig into how B2B professionals consume content, the types of content they prefer and  proven tactics to drive increased demand, best practices for successful webinar, video, and virtual event programs.

Cut Through the Noise: Content Preferences in a Digital World

Research shows that people forget 90% of your content after 48 hours. So how can they act on your message if they only remember a tenth of it? How do you even know which tenth they’ll remember? 

Drawing on neuroscience insights, Dr. Carmen Simon shares practical techniques to help you create memorable and actionable messages. Join this session to learn the latest neuroscience research, based on both cognition and emotion, to understand why memory is mandatory in business and how to create memorable and actionable content. After all, what is the use of memory if people don't act on it? 

Join this webinar to learn how to:
*Create consistent mental models to impact precision memory
*Appeal to the brain’s two pathways to attention and memorability
*Offer content that people like and want (liking and wanting are two different networks in the brain)

The Neuroscience of Memorable Content

Even in B2B, brand is paramount. It's how we get on the list for purchase consideration, build long-term connections with buyers, and extend our relationship into new areas. And true thought leadership can be a critical part of building a brand, especially when delivered by your people. By offering fresh perspective and credible expertise, your brand evangelists give you a competitive edge to win more mindshare and close more deals. That said, it’s a different kind of content often delivered via channels outside of the realm of focus for most teams. 

Join Jeff Kunken, VP of Creative Accounts (BrightTALK) as he sits down with marketing powerhouses to explore how building a strong personal brand helps leaders compete in an ever-changing economy. They’ll discuss how true thought leadership helps maximize marketing influence, nurture target accounts, and bring in additional revenue by broadening your sales funnel.

B2B Thought Leadership: The Intersection of Brand, Reputation, and Sales

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. 

Today’s marketers need to leverage data to their advantage if they expect to stand out in our crowded B2B space. Join BrightTALK’s marketing leaders as we explore how professionals are consuming omnichannel content, outline proven tactics to drive increased demand, and demonstrate best practices for successful webinar, video, and virtual event programs. Learn not only how and where buying teams conduct pre-purchase research, but how marketers can operationalize those insights to best reach and educate their audience.

Using Audience Insights to Drive Value at Scale

There is one thing that every marketer must face and that is content will never be a differentiator. However, your approach and process to content just might be. Let’s discuss how modern brands are actually creating competitive advantage with a systematic approach to creating, managing, activating and measuring content. Let’s explore a step by step approach to building the right content operation.
 
You’ll learn:
*Examples of evolutionary approaches for building ecosystems of content, rather than siloed channels
*A step by step approach for how you can develop a B2B content operation that differentiates your business
*How an intelligent content operation provides the foundation for a measurable content strategy

Content Strategy As Competitive Advantage In 2023

Your GTM’s competitive effectiveness depends on the insights you have for fuel. To better connect your solutions to real buyer needs ─ and do it in ways that support them throughout their buyer’s journeys ─  you must address product-market-fit, solution gaps, buyer challenges and more. So, while input from your own campaigns and website provide a solid start, to deliver the digital content your buyers need today, you need to do far better.
 
Join John McKnight, EVP, Research & Analyst Services at TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group, for an in-depth look at how GTM teams should tap into quantitative, qualitative, and the best sources of behavioral data to generate positioning, messaging and asset deliverables that win. As a special guest feature, we’ll also hear from TechTarget’s Chief Content Officer, Kelley Damore, as she highlights how her world-leading enterprise tech editorial team uses its own approaches at massive scale.

Fuel Your GTM with Credible, Data-Driven Content

Additionally, she’ll be joined by an APAC technology marketing leader to shed light on how data is transforming the way marketing works and how it contributes to overall business. Attendees will walk away with a solid framework for building an intent data business case or fine-tuning how they currently utilize data within their organization.

Adopting and Leveraging Intent: Lessons from Thousands of Users

Everyone knows how important Sales Development is to hitting their numbers, (especially when a pandemic makes us all have to get good at “digital”)! Yet how many of us really stop to think about SDRs as the remarkable personalization opportunity they truly represent?

In this session, TechTarget’s David Pitta and Brian Dowling will pull back the curtain on some of the secret sauce they use to enable arguably the best teams in their category.

This topical, conceptual discussion for strategic leaders looks at the hype and reality of intent data. Algorithmic approaches to digital marketing such as artificial intelligence (AI) and account based marketing tools imply a perfect system. In fact, the people, processes and technologies that make for successful B2B tech marketing are quite imperfect, as this discussion adeptly explores. Listen to real-world stories and divergent perspectives on leveraging intent data from a Silicon Valley-based marketing pro and her invited SaaS start-up client. Put in your headphones, get away from your screen, and move that body while you freshen up your understanding of marketing approaches that lead to better business outcomes (all while improving your cardio).
