There is no one silver bullet for generating demand.

Executive leaders that are willing to take risks and stay on the cutting edge of marketing trends often position themselves to capture lots of new business, talent and market share. The most successful leaders, however, know how to build a strategic foundation that is strong enough to support innovative trends while providing a tried-and-true baseline that keeps things grounded as the marketing landscape continues to evolve.

Join Launch Marketing’s Founder and CEO Christa Tuttle as she illustrates how webinar attendees can create best practices that can evolve into “next” practices, moving the needle on both innovative and stable success. This presentation will cover several cornerstones of B2B marketing, including messaging and positioning, integrated marketing plans, marketing automation and more.

Join Chaz Hoirn B2B Sales and Marketing Strategist, for this presentation that will give you the five essential pillars.

When it comes to conquering LinkedIn, Chaz has come up with a system called TABS. He landed on that particular acronym because it’s all about keeping tabs on yourself and your business.

The “T” is for “technique.” Chaz stresses that technique isn’t about manipulation, but, rather, having the intention to serve. It also refers to being the driver of the sales and marketing process, as opposed to simply being a passenger.

The “A” refers to “attitude,” which means that you need to get in the proper mindset in order to perform to the best of your abilities. In the proper mindset, you’re able to bypass a lot of the fluff that might come your way and focus in on the core issues.

“B” is for “behaviors.” This is the process of not just putting yourself to action, but finding the right actions. A large part of successful behaviors has to do with consistency, thinking on the fly, and being spurred by your failures instead of debilitated.

The final letter, “S,” stands for “strategy.” This is all about finding an audience and establishing yourself as an authority. Without this, your audience has no reason to listen to you over anybody else and will happily scroll right past you to the next person.

At its best, an organization’s content anticipates the needs and interests of those they wish to start or advance a conversation with. It’s simply there when audiences need it and served up in an easily accessible and engageable manner that adds up to a positive experience.

Conversely, gaps in content availability, inattention to the steps required to get one’s content, and disconnected follow-up leads to negative experiences and, ultimately, unmet objectives.

Join us as we examine:
- How to assess whether you have the content you need
- What it takes to create a reliable and effective content engine
- The friction points that impede content engagement (and how to address them)

In recent years, many companies and marketers struggle to prove the return on investment in content marketing and how storytelling plays such a pivotal role in the overall business strategy. On the other hand, companies who focus only on Return-On-Investment (ROI) face unsurmountable challenges in turning new customers into returning customers.

If you want your company to outshine your competitors, return on emotion (ROE) is the real key in balancing your monetary returns and getting your customers return yet again and again.

In this session, I’ll share with you:

- Why measuring ROI is no longer sufficient in your customer acquisition and retention strategy
- What Return-On-Emotion is all about and why you’ve to focus on this key metric in 2020
- How to strike a balance between driving higher profits and keeping your customers happy and satisfied

Learn about why storytelling is essential in your business and how to apply it.

Do you think your CEO really cares about how creative your latest storytelling campaign was?

Of course, content, stories and brand experience are the foundation of B2B marketing to generate customer trust as, even with data and marketing automation, we still play on a human-to-human, P2P field.

However a more structured approach is required to engage your seven communities optimally through insights-based storytelling. This requires “pain point-based” stories while delivering maximum ROI at every step of the buyer journey, 90% of which is measurable.

Philippe will explain 10 practical steps as core principles for optimising your storytelling impact with a required ROI and REVENUE focus, accompanied by examples of dashboard/benchmarks, including:

· How to start from a solid data and insights foundation
· Develop a list of key questions on your stakeholders’ mind
· Which KPIs to use as priority for your content, campaigns and channels

Not only are insights and ROI key components of your storytelling strategy but also the visualisation of your data into stories. The DATYLON framework and examples will also explain further how the way you communicate your data and stories to your stakeholders is key in WOW-ing your audiences, from customers to CEO.
