Ways & Means and Pop Research combined forces to raise brand awareness for multiple B2B brands, with what some consider to be lightning speed, for clients like Freshworks, Noon Home, and Here Technologies. These clients faced the challenges of finite budgets, hard to reach B2B targets, and needing to show ROI on investment.

Actionable market research was able to show the value of the multimedia approach including local/national media placements, LinkedIn Marketing Solutions, Influencer Marketing tactics, and more. What used to take an eternity (in the marketing world) now takes just a few weeks, and we will share our approach to getting to market and identifying results before your next quarter begins,

Success metrics included lifts in Unaided Awareness, as well as strong traction on key perception KPI's that significantly closed the gap with their larger more well-known competitors.

Attendees will learn:

  1. Reasons agility and speed are increasingly important in B2B marketing (raises the issue of timing/planning in terms of B2B companies thinking longer term, but also hyper focused on short term metrics and success... managing both can be especially difficult for B2B marketers that have longer purchase cycles but need "quick wins").
  2. How the media landscape and choices are increasing companies ability to target B2B marketing both in terms of local geography and audience.
  3. How the media landscape and choices are increasing companies ability to target B2B marketing both in terms of local geography and audience.
  4. How technology provides the ability to get research results to inform both product and marketing at speeds consistent with this new world and pace of information needs.

B2B marketing is maturing from being focused just on awareness and lead generation to taking responsibility for optimizing each stage of the funnel. But we need to bring an honest understanding of the buyer’s experience to know what to improve and to get alignment with sales. And that means stepping out from behind the algorithm and getting our hands dirty understanding how the humans are wending their way through the buying journey.

As a marketing leader, you have many stakeholders within your company that can help or hinder your marketing objectives. We often focus a lot on the CEO/Founder, but experience shows, the CEO/Founder is already a big advocate of Marketing, so much so your role is often to rein them in. The CFO, on the other hand is usually not predestined to be a marketing advocate. The CFO’s job is to be the ultimate pragmatist and demand everything must be measured daily if possible.

The gig economy has arrived. It's where organizations contract with independent workers for short-term engagements as opposed to hiring as full-time employees.

Karin Vogel, who has held senior marketing roles at several of the world's top technology brands that include Brocade, Intel, Logitech, Seagate, and Apple will be leading the discussion on this new phenomenon. She is perfectly qualified: she has been on both sides of the fence, repeatedly.

You might counter that this phenomenon is not new and had always existed, even when full-time employment was the mainstay—through the 1980's.

Carbon, Inc. had accomplished the seemingly impossible. They had developed a proprietary 3D printing technology that would enable them to manufacture parts that combine strong mechanical properties with a finish that is suitable for an end product. Previously it was possible to have one or the other, but not both. And Carbon could produce it at scale—essential for a true manufacturing regimen.

This wonder product would be inconsequential unless it was put to use—in widespread application.

What you will hear in our roundtable discussion is the story of how Carbon went about generating the buzz for its technology and scored big with Adidas and Vitamix in Read more
