Making Markets Feel: Creating Enduring Demand in Financial Services

B2B buyers no longer move neatly through the traditional funnel. Today’s buyers are independent, well-informed, and often decide who to purchase from before ever speaking with sales. What used to be a linear journey has become unpredictable and far less controllable.



In this new climate, being conversion-obsessed isn’t enough. Marketing leaders must put trust and brand at the center.



This session challenges outdated funnel-first thinking and introduces a new blueprint built around buyer enablement, brand credibility, and the silent majority of buyers who never raise their hand. In partnership with ReelFlow, a panel of experts will share how marketing teams can adapt to evolving buying behaviours and put these principles into practice. We’ll cover:
● How to design exceptional website experiences to make your organization stand out.
● How to leverage buyer-enabled video experiences to drive deeper engagement.
● Understanding how AI is reshaping top-of-funnel search.
● Tangible next steps for marketing leaders to take to adapt to shifting buyer dynamics.

Inside the Evolving B2B Buyer: Why B2B Marketers Must Stop Chasing Conversions and Start Building Trust

In today’s fast-moving marketing landscape, growth isn’t driven by campaigns alone. It’s powered by commercial marketers who have the ability to think beyond brand and channel and have a much deeper understanding of a GTM strategy. 

Join B2B Marketing and The Think Tank for a practical, research-backed webinar that explores the crucial link between commercial marketing and sustainable growth. Using insights and takeaways from The Think Tank’s research Unlocking B2B Growth: How a Winning Go-to-Market Strategy Drives Commercial Success, which drew on insights from more than 1,000 marketers in the UK and USA, we will be unpacking everything from:

- Why enacting GTM is a core business strategy and its link to commercial success.
- How insight-driven planning is critical for a Go-to-Market strategy.
- How to tackle limitations, such as measuring impact, misalignment and the ever-changing tech landscape.
- The implications of the research and a framework for delivering GTM further.

Speakers include: 
- Matt Allen, Senior Executive Director - Clients, Markets & Strategy, Bidwells
- Sarah Whipp, CMO, Elliptic
- Liam Bateman, Founder & Managing Director, The Think Tank

Regardless of where you’re at in your GTM journey, this session will give you the tools, framework, and insights to drive marketing forward with a commercial mindset.

From Insight to Impact: The Commercial Marketer’s GTM Playbook

Today’s B2B buyers don’t want phone calls or gated PDFs; they want to guide their own purchase journey with content that answers questions as precisely as a sales rep would. Yet most enterprises still funnel prospects into the same lead-hand off routine—95 percent of which buyers ignore. In this webinar in association with  Splashmetrics and BBN | Agency X,  we will be showing CMOs how to meet modern buyers on their terms—without overhauling existing GTM operations. You’ll see how to transform your highest-value assets into interactive, AI-driven experiences, capture a new class of buyer data, and feed sales teams insight they can act on the moment a self-qualified prospect reaches out. The result: tighter marketing-sales alignment, faster deal cycles, and a measurable lift in ROI.

A CMO Briefing: Serving the Self-Educating Buyer—AI Content, Real-Time Pipeline Insight

Did you know that 82% of buying groups have requirements mostly set before engaging with a vendor? The traditional sales cycle might have a clear start and end—but the journey in between? It’s anything but linear. Today’s B2B buyers take a squiggly, self- directed path, researching, comparing, and shortlisting without ever filling out a form.

So why is it that marketing and sales continue to follow a traditional funnel (invented in 1898 by the way)? 

Join Stuart Jaffray, Managing Director, Green Hat as he runs through an exciting presentation and Q+A session, which outlines how marketers should be approaching the B2B buying cycle, especially in a world where buying groups are utilizing
self-service practices.

This B2B Marketing webinar in association with Green Hat, a BBN organization, will cover everything from their research with 6sense to:

● How to engage and influence self-serve buyers with content, brand, and smart
activation.

● What the “dark funnel” really is, and how intent data and integrated tech stacks can help you uncover hidden buying activity.

● How marketing should influence the research stage to facilitate sales and increase alignment between teams.

● Who your self-serve buyers actually are—and how generational trends are shaping the future of B2B buying behaviour.

Late to the Buying Party? Winning Strategies for the Self-Serve Buying Era

Delivering high-impact digital ads can certainly be a challenge in the B2B
industry. The days of relying on third party cookies have been replaced with investing in first-

has gotten on board.
 
In this webinar in association with Funnel Fuel, we will be delving into some top tips for
brands who are looking to build a first-party data strategy to deliver their digital campaigns.
We also address how to ensure your ads appear in the right context to the right audience at
the right time, as well as the key to delivering your ads in real-time.

The Power of Personalization in the B2B Buyer’s Journey

What does GTM (go-to-market) mean? We talk about it all the time, but are we defining and applying it in the most strategic way? And does it lie with marketing, product or sales? But most importantly, how can it be used to generate commercial success?

These are all questions that will be answered in an exciting panel discussion. In this B2B Marketing webinar in association with The Think Tank, we are hosting a panel with three key marketing leaders. 

Off the back of winning ‘UK B2B agency of the year’ at our B2B Marketing Awards, The Think Tank will share their definition of a go-to-market strategy, the steps to executing it effectively, as well as the commercial benefits from introducing this strategy into the business.

In this exciting webinar in association with FunnelFuel, we will be breaking down
the new digital advertising environment - specifically around targeting. We will be using real-
world examples and expert advice to demonstrate why precision targeting isn’t just a nice-to-
know but a need-to-know in B2B marketing.
We will also be discussing:
● Why there’s been a revival of contextual advertising and why advertisers need to
focus on the content’s quality and relevance.
● How marketers can shift away from retargeting strategies and focus on first party
data methods such as email, CRM testing and much more.
● How to ensure compliance with privacy standards and cultivate trust with your
audiences.
● Whether curation platforms are a good option to pursue in lieu of third-party data.

Speakers Include:
Paul Collier, Chief Marketing Officer, Funnel Fuel.
Julia Porter, Partner and Board Director, Data Protection Network Associates.
Alex Bacon, Marketing Director, Cloud Direct.

Hitting The Bullseye: How To Aim For Precision in Digital Advertising’s New Landscape

In today’s complex B2B landscape, purchasing decisions aren’t made by just one person—they involve buying groups of key stakeholders, each with unique priorities and influence. Yet many organizations still rely on lead-centric (MQL) models that struggle to identify the most promising opportunities quickly and effectively. In fact, Forrester reports that a lead-centric process has a 99% failure rate from inquiry to close.

In this insightful webinar and panel discussion with LeanData, we’ll explore why buying groups are the true drivers of revenue growth—and how shifting your strategy can unlock better pipeline efficiency and sales alignment.

We’ll dive into practical strategies for:

Transitioning from lead-based models to buying group engagement
Overcoming challenges like sales buy-in, stakeholder identification, and tracking multi-threaded engagement
Understanding the tech side: Does your CRM support buying group data, and how can you optimize it?

Plus, if your company is entrenched in an MQL structure, we’ll be delving into some top tips for organizations that might be resistant to change.

Speakers include:
- Martin Haasenstrach, Global Channel Marketing, Siemens
- Lauren Daley, Director, Marketing Operations, Palo Alto Networks
