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

In our always-on digital world, the refrain “serve up the right message at the right time to the right person,” is always at the forefront. The need to meet customers in their preferred channel with a message that resonates is greater than ever before. But how do you actually achieve this? 

Customers expect brands to be authentic and genuine. In order to accomplish this, brands need to meet them at moments that matter. Whether this is in their inbox or LinkedIn feed, and achieved through careful segmentation or on your website with thoughtful personalization - a single transactional point of contact is not enough to cultivate relationships. Rather, being prepared to play the longer game to generate awareness, grow recognition, and build trust is where your company will find success. 

Erin will delve into how clean data, meaningful content, and customer authenticity are at the heart of a successful demand generation strategy. She will lay out how to meet customers at moments that matter, and how this can help you to transform your business.

Why Connection Is the New Currency: Meet Customers When It Matters

Whether it was due to a service failure, supply chain challenges, or they were lured away by a better price; your formerly loyal customer decided to leave.

But does that mean it’s over for good? Or could there be a way to win them back?

A new behavioral study from B2B DecisionLabs tested that question in a real-world sales situation. Over 300 sellers approached 1,350 former customers using several possible win-back messages.

Find out which approach drives the best response (and which ones fall flat) in this webcast with Doug Hutton, SVP Products at B2B DecisionLabs.

Tune in to get research-backed answers to questions like:

·         What’s the most effective approach to re-engage lost customers?

·         Should you treat lost customers more like new logos or existing accounts?

·         Does their reason for leaving affect their chances to return?

Sign up to see the surprising new science of win-back conversations.

Today, B2B marketers have access to data that they could have only dreamed of a generation ago. Powered by technology, automation is allowing marketing teams to simplify and scale like never before. That said, we’re in danger of over-automating and losing the human touch. Let us remember that purchasing decisions are made by engaging the mind (left brain - IQ) as much as emotions (right brain - EQ).

-  What does the data tell us about what our audience is thinking?
-  How can we utilize data to assist the way we craft inspiring stories and create compelling content formats that truly speak to our buyers?
-  How is it even possible to make authentic connections while you’re automating for scale?

Marketing is all about telling an authentic story. To do this successfully you must create content that is consistent, compelling, and leaves your audience wanting more. It's no surprise that episodic content has become a key way to build a community and develop long-lasting relationships with buyers. 

In this talk, The Power of Episodic Content, we’ll explore why serialized content is a win-win for both your business and your audience. Join us to learn how episodic content can fuel your go-to-market strategy and help scale your content programs.  

We’ll cover: 
- Why episodic content is a successful format 
- How to build recurring webinar and video series
- Tips and tricks for maximizing the reach of episodic programs 
- Examples of clients that are leveraging episodic content for demand generation

The Power of Episodic Content

There’s an irony at the heart of many businesses – owners, leaders and management teams constantly call for greater creative thinking from their employees to help ensure their businesses can thrive in an ever-competitive market.  However, when you open the doors and look inside many of these businesses, this treasured creativity and creative thinking remains often too narrowly defined and then confined to the marketing department; where it is unable to deliver on all the rich, untapped potential it could offer the business as a whole.  Paul Spiers, founder of The New P&L Brand Purpose Institute and host of The New P&L – Principles & Leadership in Business podcast series discusses whether creativity needs a rebrand to help change the perceptions of the real commercial value of creative thinking to a business; how critical and creative thinking builds powerful brands; as well as how a mix of creative freedoms and frameworks can help creativity to flourish and deliver tangible benefits to a business’s strategic, operational and commercial arteries.

Why Creativity in Business Needs a Rebrand

With this knowledge we hold meditation to be an essential part of the practice.
