Location: BrightTALK

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

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

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

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 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

It’s amazing to realize that Forrester research shows Millennials and Gen Zers made up 71% of B2B buying teams in 2023. What’s more, their clear preference for video-based content means that in your content portfolio, video is absolutely critical as a source of information for B2B decision making and vendor selection. And our own research shows clearly that busy executives are also consuming more video: Across tech buyers, 48% say webinars and 31% say video are the most important media formats they use to build a vendor shortlist. Suffice to say that in the absence of a good video-based content strategy, marketers will struggle to capture these buyers’ attention, get on their short list and influence their purchasing decisions.  

In the next episode of B2B Content Brilliance in Action, join Jeff Kunken (Vice President Integrated Solutions, TechTarget) and Susan Smith (Senior Director, Product Marketing, TechTarget) as they discuss how to design effective video-based content and overcome common impediments to creating a successful video-based content strategy. Jeff will draw from his experience at the Sundance Channel and IconicTV and share examples of how BrightTALK’s Studios team develops compelling video, webinars and virtual events for our customers. You’ll walk away with practical tips on how to create a library of effective video content, within your budget and timeframe, that successfully engages buyers and communicates your solution’s value.

Drive Better Buyer Engagement with Video

Winning with B2B Webinars: SonicWall's Content Marketing Playbook

Revenue development was conceived as a way to leverage one-to-many capabilities into more productive opportunity discovery. At its center, there was the concept of the MQL — which was easy for management to understand and track. So, we’ve all tried to find more and more MQLs, even though they’re now proven to be notoriously poor predictors. There has to be a better way! But with all the KPIs, systems and processes locking us in, change can be very hard. And yet for many companies, it’s starting to look like a must.

To learn from a leader who’s broken through, join TechTarget CMO John Steinert as he speaks with Michael Brown, head of Reltio’s Global Revenue Development organization. Hear why this world-class Master Data Management company needed to make the move past MQLs to buying groups and opportunities, how they accomplished it organizationally and systematically, and what their outcomes are to date. This transition that they accomplished in 60 days won Reltio a prestigious POY Award at this year’s Forrester Summit in Austin. It’s a must see for innovative GTM practitioners and leaders alike.

Demand Evolution: From Leads with Problems to Teams with Projects

A recent Enterprise Strategy Group survey found that 53% of IT professionals view IT as more complicated than it was two years ago. With an increase in remote work, a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape and a rise in the number of endpoint devices, many are turning to joint solutions to decrease complexity. And it is the role of strategic alliance and partner marketing teams to understand the evolving IT buying journey and to supply the right insights and content to aid the decision-making process.

Join Michael Latchford, General Manager & Vice President, Strategic Alliances & Partner Marketing Services of TechTarget as he sits down with partner marketing executives Laurie Mitchell of Wasabi, Meaghan Moore of ServiceNow, and Amy McNew of Palo Alto Networks as they discuss adoption drivers for integrated solutions, content strategy best practices and tactics for successfully fueling the IT buyer’s journey. You’ll also walk away with freshly unveiled research from Enterprise Strategy’s Groups survey on integrated partner solutions.

Guiding the IT Buying Journey: Strategies for Partner Marketing

Generative AI is going to be an effective tool for ramping up content volumes, but volume and impact are very different. All marketers need to be able to differentiate their solutions and align them better to customer needs or else a buyer won’t engage. Sellers need to maximize relevance and minimize noise in their interactions. Therefore, in order to have more effective marketing and sales, AI needs to help GTM organizations better understand what buyers want and need and then provision them with content based on the best possible insight.

Join TechTarget's VP of AI Strategy Paul Healey and VP of Content and Market Insights Ryan Bell, as they discuss what good personalization looks like and how TechTarget is envisioning the best way to help sellers and buyers alike using AI.

AI and Content: The Advantage is in the Data

It is the best of times and the worst of times. Despite more and more tools available to sales, the gap between potential productivity and actual productivity is rapidly widening. To make matters worse, direct buyer engagement is down significantly since COVID. But fear not, help is on the way. The emergence of generative AI, fueled by precision intent data and other data sources, promises to raise sales performance and increase productivity in dramatic ways. Whether you’re super-excited about the possibilities, somewhat scared for your job, or straddling the fence, it’s a session not to be missed.

Join Tech Target and guest speaker, Forrester Principal Analyst Seth Marrs as he describes key areas where he sees AI-driven innovation catalyzing positive change for sellers, buyers and their companies alike. He’ll outline the existing challenges, highlight the building blocks in place, and comment on the current status of change.

3 Ways AI is Revolutionizing B2B Sales

Although many go-to-market teams conceptually understand that the buying journey is far from linear, many struggle to adapt their strategies to the realities of today’s technology buying cycle. As purchase cycles increase in complexity and involve more buying team members, vendors need to ensure their marketing campaigns are aligned to buyers’ varying needs and that their sales teams are engaging the right members of the buying team at the right time with the right message.

VMware Tanzu is ahead of the curve when it comes to aligning marketing and sales activity to the non-linear buying cycle. With a laser-focus on real, observed behavioral activity, they’ve implemented a tech stack that supports their need to identify in-market accounts, engage individual buying team members and measure long-term results. TechTarget’s Christina Stone will sit down with Heidi Ramich, VMware Tanzu’s Director, Global Marketing Operations & Analytics, to discuss how the enterprise technology buying team has evolved, the importance of tapping into intent signals in a longer buying cycle, and the role of marketing in helping to make the "short list" for vendor selection. By the end of the webinar, participants will have a better understanding of how to leverage TechTarget and other key components of their tech stack to help get noticed in the non-linear buying journey.

How VMware Tanzu Aligns its Tech Stack to the Non-Linear B2B Buying Pattern

Building a great account-based marketing strategy requires a deep understanding of your best-fit accounts, close collaboration among your go-to-market teams, and data-driven insights to power the tactics behind your ABM playbook. Sounds quite simple, right? But many marketers – although quite familiar with ABM as a concept - find themselves at a crossroads when planning and executing their ABM strategy.

In this webinar, F5’s Digital & Marketing Operations Director (EMEA) Olga Royenko and TechTarget’s Senior Account Manager, Jess Flynn, will dig into the nitty-gritty of what it takes to run successful ABM campaigns for a B2B tech brand. They will discuss how an intent data-driven approach allows F5 to be laser-focused on the best-fit accounts while engaging buying teams with tailored content and relevant follow-up.

F5’s ABM Playbook: How Intent Data helps to Shape their Strategy

Competition in the IT landscape is fierce. Your buyers are likely being bombarded with marketing messages and sales outreach on a daily basis. To effectively engage your target audience and improve the impact of your demand generation efforts, you must shift from sporadic marketing campaigns to a cohesive, integrated marketing plan to engage buyers throughout their research journey.

In this webinar, TechTarget’s Senior Account Director, Alex Leadbeater, will sit down with Helen Gilbe, Marketing Director, Proofpoint to discuss how combining different marketing tactics and efforts into a cohesive, integrated marketing strategy helps to engage and influence buyers more effectively and efficiently.

Mind the Gaps: Driving More Revenue with  Integrated Marketing

Economic downturns can present significant challenges for organizations striving to maintain growth and profitability. Yet, it’s during these challenging times that investing in high-quality content becomes a strategic imperative. Instead of deciding whether to invest, marketers must decide where to invest in order to take advantage of the current climate. 

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

To compete successfully in today's digital landscape, every marketing team must develop an effective content strategy. At the same time, the skilled experts needed to create good content are in short supply, and the high expectations around performance can seem to put every project under an ROI microscope. Caught between a rock and a hard place, to solve for both quality and efficiency, GTM teams need to take a step back and rethink how they can engineer more sustainable content supply chains.

In this webinar, Enterprise Strategy Group analysts Christophe Bertrand and Melinda Marks will build on their experiences as technology product marketers to zoom in on two of the most difficult content challenges faced by GTM teams: They’ll look closely at how you can get better at creating material that will really resonate with your target buyers. And they’ll unpack the barriers to and breakthrough solutions for achieving ROI and strong engagement from your content-based programming.

From Origination to Proliferation: How to Maximize Content ROI

As members of the GTM team, each of us impacts the customer experience (CX), either pre-sale, post-sale or both. And while, in our particular roles, we may not spend much time thinking about the impact we have personally on that experience, we’d have to admit that it is very real. Of course, the people who probably think about CX more than anyone else are those either building CX solutions or those looking to implement them.

That’s why for this session, we’re bringing together Stephanie Corby, Enterprise Strategy Group’s lead analyst on the topic and their SVP of Analyst Services, Doug Cahill for a special edition of our Analyst Insights for GTM Actions series. First, they’ll share what’s essential to understand about people’s wants and needs from the latest CX research. And then they’ll flip the script to explain why these insights can help each of us frame out how we can address our own objectives with a clearer CX focus—in how we target, how we position and message, in our content, in our selling and more. It’s guidance that anyone who cares deeply about the customer won’t want to miss.

Leveraging CX Research to Inform Your Personalization Efforts

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

The generative AI revolution is here. While AI’s cultural impact has been significant, not surprisingly, it has left many curious about the practical use of AI in B2B marketing and sales. As we all look to stand out from the crowd, many marketing teams struggle to effectively hit their content production targets. Seeing the promise of AI, TechTarget’s marketing team has tapped Writer to achieve more scale and efficiency with their already comprehensive content engine.

How TechTarget Scales Content Using Writer's Enterprise Generative AI Platform

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

Any marketer understands the value of content today – especially in a murky technical landscape and uncertain business environment. But simply creating content is not enough. Content serves as an extension of your brand and it’s often a prospect’s first entry point to understanding your product or solution. Marketers have to think strategically and long-term to fully utilize the power of content so it generates deep engagement and drives the most important business outcome – revenue.

In this session, Alexandra Kory, Teradata’s Director of Demand Generation and Brent Boswell, TechTarget’s SVP and Managing Director, International, will deep-dive into top challenges EMEA marketers face when creating and distributing content. Additionally, they will look into the importance of content for not only capturing in-market buyers but also engaging a wider group of decision-makers so your brand is top-of-mind to ensure the long-term success.

Data-Driven Excellence: DocuSign and Mimecast's Journeys with Intent Data

We’re all sick of hearing “do more with less” but know that we have to be extremely efficient with our time and money. This is impossible to do without great data. Even the best AI-assisted solutions in the world are only as good as their data sets. We all must spend more of our time and money with the people at the accounts most likely to buy when they’re ready to buy. The way to do this is with B2B buyer intent data.

Understanding and Leveraging the 3 Phases of Intent-Based Value Delivery

Across the industry, the intent data revolution is being powered by its very real ROI. And while intent-driven ROI benefits in marketing are widely accepted, that’s only a small part of the value available from the best intent sources. The real revenue magic happens when a company can get actionable intent data into the hands of its sellers and keep them using it consistently. Yet that’s far easier said than done. In this session, learn what to do and what to watch out for from a team that’s become expert at supporting the necessary changes.

Join TechTarget SVP Annie Matthews as she hosts WatchGuard’s Director of Demand Generation Alex McWethy and BDR Manager Kel Pendleton as they walk through their own intent data-driven sales revolution – How they prepared, what surprises they encountered, and the successes that they’re now enjoying.

Join us live for an in-depth Q&A with Fortinet’s Senior Director, Growth Marketing, Martin Lindsay, led by Julia DePalma, Senior Account Director, Strategic Sales at TechTarget. Martin will shed light on how his team is uniquely leveraging purchase intent data to identify best-fit accounts and prospects, laser-focus their targeting, and prioritize marketing and sales efforts where they are needed the most.

Activating Real Intent for Better Marketing Results

Intent data is everywhere, but is it productive? In a recent survey, B2B sellers said their #1 challenge remains “knowing buyer priorities and interest areas to enable better [prospect] conversations” – clearly, we’ve still got a long way to go to make intent as practical as it should be.

In this webinar, TechTarget’s Chief Product Officer Andy Briney and members of his team will cover the very latest in intent data best practices with hot-off-the press examples drawn from TechTarget customers – software, hardware and services companies focused on enterprise tech:

- How to quantify intent’s impact on opportunity creation and close/won revenue.

Intent Data and ROI: How to Measure It and Drive It Through the Roof

Even in this current world of increasing self-directed – and decreasingly loyal – buyers, B2B tech companies struggle mightily to be seen, much less truly understood. Think about how hard it’s already gotten to engage them with your value props ... and then multiply the problem by 10x! Is that where we’re going in the generative AI-driven future? It’s super hard to break through today – going forward it’s certainly not going to get an easier. When any company is able to quickly copy the messaging of even the fastest innovators, successful differentiation will require a more rigorous approach.

Join Rebecca Kitchens, President of TechTarget, as she shares her view of where we are as an industry, and as GTM professionals with real “jobs to be done.” She’ll recap how we got here, including the rise successful internet publishing models (like TechTarget and hybrids like LinkedIn and even Hubspot), and then go deep on what’s likely to be coming for all of us, and what we should be doing about it to prepare.

Content, Context and the AI-Driven Future

Reach 2023: Intent. Content. Demand.

If we stay in our lane as marketers, succeeding at omnichannel marketing could seem like the key to reaching your strategic goals. And yet, especially in B2B, no business can succeed on great marketing alone. And while it’s always good to be laser-focused on our own specific functional tasks, especially in these days of digital interaction and data-driven automation, driving major improvements often requires a broader outlook or more holistic mindset. That’s why we believe today’s most competitive teams need to see beyond concepts like omnichannel delivery. And as an ambitious marketer, you should consider thinking this way too.

In this discussion between Terminus co-founder and GTM Partners CEO Sangram Vajre and TechTarget CMO, John Steinert, we’ll examine the learnings each leader has gained as they’ve built out their businesses and their thinking, from laser-focus at the start to the holistic GTM approaches they are actively championing today.
