This channel provides practical advice to help B2B marketers understand the rapidly evolving marketing landscape, and to make best use of new techniques and tools.

B2B marketing has radically transformed in a few short years. Just as we’re moving away from a global pandemic, we enter a bear market with a looming recession on the horizon.

This combination of past, present and future is causing longer sales cycles for B2B brands and leading to headaches for sales and marketing. And with this the need to drive pipeline and revenue growth has come to the top of any marketers’ agenda.

Against this backdrop, full-funnel marketing needs to take centre stage – the key to ensuring long-term, consistent growth in an age characterised by uncertainty.

Using research from B2B Marketing, this webinar will look at how +250 B2B marketers feel towards brand and demand marketing, exploring the barriers and opportunities to leverage how an aligned approach can help drive pipeline and revenue growth in a bear market. You’ll learn:

● How marketers think about brand and demand marketing in a bear market.
● The disconnect between B2B marketers and their full-funnel budget allocations.
● The barriers to full-funnel marketing.
● What marketers can do to impact full-funnel pipeline acceleration.

Survive & thrive: Driving pipeline & revenue growth during an economic recession

Lead generation has long been centered around capturing information from forms. Want to check out this case study? Fill out a form. Get pricing info? Fill out a form.

The problem? Forms don’t start a conversation; they’re a barrier to entry. But not every marketing and sales team depends on forms to fill their pipelines with leads. In fact, the consumer research platform, Voxpopme, ditched forms long ago. They’ve since turned to Conversational Marketing for a more frictionless customer experience, to increase website conversion rate, and more.

And now they want to share everything they’ve learned with you. On DATE, join us to learn: 

- How Voxpopme reinvented themselves using Conversational Marketing
- How you can scale conversations without forms (and without losing the human touch!)
- Voxpopme’s future plans around account expansion, prospecting, and ABM efforts

Doubling the conversion rate with conversational marketing

The customer journey has changed for good. Potential customers spend weeks, months or even years silently researching brands online. And even if they engage with your material, it doesn’t mean they’re ready to buy.

You need to know how to deliver the right content at the right time and in the right channels. In other words, focusing on the middle of the funnel - not the top.

This webinar is in conjunction with a report produced with B2B Marketing. Register now to learn:

-The importance of a buyer-journey-focused content marketing strategy.
-How the middle of the funnel is broken, and why it needs to be fixed.
-The dangers of not fixing the funnel.
-How you can unstick the middle of the funnel.

Unstick the middle of the funnel

Post pandemic, we’re seeing an ever more competitive landscape. Buyers are demanding an increasingly digital experience and it’s creating a pivotal time to rethink the way internal teams work together to increase revenue streams.

We believe RevTech is the answer. Marketing, Sales and Revenue teams need to transform their digital engagement strategies, think differently and deliver strong engagement with every buyer interaction.

But the right tools, support and data can take them to the next level and move them ahead of their competition. The key is in integrating technology solutions and powering them with a solid data foundation.

RevTech helps to bring together internal teams and valuable sales and marketing data from the technologies that house it — the Martech, Salestech, and Adtech — to support integrated Marketing campaigns. 

By connecting these tools Sales and Revenue teams can make more confident decisions based on the data and insights derived. 

Marketing teams can build more targeted audiences, activate campaigns consistently across channels and deliver more personalised experiences. Together, they can drive faster growth for their businesses.

RevTech – Rethink how your Marketing, Sales and Revenue teams work together.

ABM is more than just another marketing channel, it's a new go-to-market approach full of new processes, metrics, and challenges. 

We're here to help you get started with a view into the full customer lifecycle, an overview of multi-channel marketing, and tips on how to run your first ABM programs.

Join us to learn:

• Why a multi-channel approach should be the goal of everything you do with ABM
• An actionable, easy to understand framework to help you execute your account-based programs
• An end-to-end campaign example that walks through data, segmentation, sales activation, metrics, and more

Crawl, Walk, Run Your Way to ABM Success

People make decisions based on what they remember, not on what they forget. The problem is, people will forget 90 percent of what you share with them after two days. 

If your goal is to influence your buyer’s behavior in some way, how can they act on your business content if they only remember a tenth of it? How do you even know which tenth they’ll remember?

In this session with Dr. Carmen Simon, cognitive neuroscientist and Chief Science Officer at Corporate Visions, you’ll discover several practical, science-backed techniques to transform your content into something worth noticing and remembering. 

You’ll learn how people pay attention, remember content, and ultimately act on it based on neuroscience research, which reveals how the brain processes information and tends to remember it (or not). You’ll discover how to:

• Ease cognitive processing by using consistent mental models.
• Appeal to the brain’s two pathways to attention and memory.
• Offer content that people like and want.

The Neuroscience of Memorable Content

With only 5% of your customers ready to buy at any moment, it’s critical that marketing supports them throughout the funnel, and converts them before the opportunity is lost.

But how? The buyer journey has grown more complex than ever. And with so much noise in the purchasing process – multiple decision makers, an excess of choice, and not enough differentiation – prospects are frequently becoming stuck mid-funnel. So where should we begin fixing it?

Join tech marketing experts as they bust some myths, discuss common challenges, and ignite the ideas that are fundamental to supporting a more effective demand generation strategy in 2022.

This webinar answers:

• How to dispel the myths that are misguiding your campaigns to IT decision makers?
• Which ideas and innovative technologies turn your demand gen activity into award-
        winning results?
• What’s the secret to making marketing’s contribution more visible to the board?

Demand Gen is Broken: Fixing the funnel in 2022

For many years, B2C has led the way when it comes to using data and technology to deliver a seamless, personalised digital customer journey.

But now, business decision makers are demanding a B2C-like digital experience in their B2B buyer journey’s. They expect a frictionless, immediate, and personalised digital journey, in which relevant information is available across multi-channels, platforms and formats. This provides a huge opportunity for B2B organisations bold enough to think digitally, while those who fail to deliver risk falling behind their competition.

In this webinar, Kingpin and Omobono will provide actionable guidance as to how you can embrace data, technology and creativity to deliver a seamless account-based customer experience focused on driving leads, optimising conversions and delivering insight to your account teams.

We will cover:

-Using data and insights to analyse your existing digital customer journey.
-Aligning your digital experience to the needs of your buyer.
-Using data and technology to target named accounts.
-Making small moves to drive big changes.
-How to know when you’re successful.

A blueprint to account-based marketing

With 80-90% of the buyer's journey complete before a buyer even reaches out to sales, the ability of Marketing teams to adjust their growth strategies to stand out has never been more important.

Martech tools have long promised the ability to help you “reach the right buyer in the right channel at the right time.”  

However, with hundreds of tools to choose from, marketing & sales teams are often executing these channels in siloes. This means intent signals from one channel aren’t shared with others. 

What businesses need is a singular view of customers. You need to know who is likely to buy, where they are in their journey, and how to reach them. Then you need to make the whole thing feel personalized. Once you have your ideal customer set for a campaign, you need to share it with the tools you use to reach them – across social, search, email, programmatic, web and sales plays.

In this webinar, you will learn how to:

• Create a full view of buyers and customers, better understand their behaviour, their journeys, and when they’re likely to buy
• Use AI-driven insights to prioritize the audiences most likely to buy – or customers at risk of leaving
• Turn on and run personalized, data-backed campaigns in the channels where your buyers and customers are most likely to respond
• Uncover all of the points in your buyers’ journeys where they’re likely to engage to help your team reach them at the right times – and get through the door first

In this session led by Drift’s Head of EMEA Marketing, Julijana Saveska, Marije Gould, VP Global Demand Generation and Field Marketing, Unit4 Neil Georgeson Global Business Development Director, Unit 4 and Jon Busby, Chief Technology Officer, Twogether, you’ll learn how to apply Conversational Marketing and chat best practices to improve your customer experience and increase your campaign performance.

How to increase campaign ROI with conversational marketing

The consistent performance and execution of all customer-facing roles in a business are vital. It inevitably leads to sustainable revenue growth and retaining customers, particularly after a turbulent year of unprecedented change in both customer behaviours and expectations. 

Effective customer engagement is now essential, and it is an area where marketers should be leading. 
 
Growth is only possible when all teams are collaborating on the shared business objectives: revenue growth, customer satisfaction and customer retention. But as we know; much is lost in translation. Failing to do so may put corporate strategies at risk, resulting in failure to meet sales targets, lost marketing ROI and customer churn.

So, what does consistent performance looks like? How can we scale it across the entire organisation? And how can we support our sales and marketing teams to drive business success?

Join this webinar to explore how you can drive consistent performance across all the revenue teams and set your organisation up for success.

By attending this webinar, you will learn:

• How to identify strategic initiatives that drive marketing and sales alignment
• What is the key to effective sales enablement that scales with your business and how marketers can influence that change?
• What are the new methods for driving and measuring marketing ROI, so marketers can measure not their own influence, but all the way through to a sale?
• How to achieve consistent performance by defining winning behaviours across all teams

How to drive performance across all revenue teams with strategic enablement

There is a new truth in B2B marketing – customers don’t simply want to buy from you anymore, they want to buy into you. The secret to moving products is moving minds.

In this webinar, Paul Cash, CEO at Rooster Punk will reveal how their human approach to marketing helped KPMG close £59m of business from a £1m investment AND helped Incorpo increase their average sales contract value by 37% by connecting sales with a hard-hitting story that got their customers fired up.

Join this webinar to learn:

•	How to inspire and galvanise your team by adopting a human centred philosophy
