Companies are allocating more budget to marketing, year on year. Without the knowledge to efficiently and effectively spend, those marketing dollars are going to be wasted…

Generating leads, actually proving ROI, and securing budget in the first place are the top three challenges that collective marketing departments face!

In a digital landscape so fiercely competitive, B2B brands need to first accommodate the wider ‘hot topics’ before deciding on any granular details — like what channels or technology to utilize.


It’s a multi-step approach that ultimately serves to maximize profit.


Here are three panoramic trends and encompassing events shaping your marketing strategy in 2018 and beyond…

Erik: I talked about trends regarding ecommerce and new media for B2B at a conference for an user group association of a leading Enterprise Resource Planning system in 2017. I mentioned Caterpillar as a good business case on how to use modern marketing methods.

Hi Erik,

Social media marketing is a thing but it's not easy now. Everyone is running after stats.

Not easy in the slightest, Ravi!

Saturation, noise and ad spend — Perhaps a change is on the horizon, in some form or another? :)))

For now, the use of multiple influencers is one of the best bets for content penetration / ROI.

Erik!

Thanks for sharing this one with the BizSugar community! :D

Fascinating topics to consider — I especially found the new 'generation' research most eye-opening (and it should be for any B2B brand).

Cheers again!

Sam :)))
