This is the first of a new series being produced by Just Global. One of our in-house experts will provide their view of the month along with some recommended reads and takeaways.
August 2023 - Would you give yourself a standing ovation?
B2B marketing is currently undergoing a transformation, from the greater focus on data that proliferated during the pandemic to the arrival of generative AI and a move towards online experiences. In amongst this lies the key to improving the performance of your marketing today, and a focus this past month – brand.
The value of centering on brand has been well-established in the B2C world, with measurement built on share of voice. As the B2B market evolves, greater investment in brand is expected, which will better fill the top of the funnel with quality leads, as well as contribute to the wider funnel.
We’ve recently seen a focus on this ‘performance marketing’ with our clients, with some big success.
The question to ask is, are you happy with the performance of your brand in the market as it transforms? Could you tweak the way you measure performance and the data you utilize, or make use of new tools (like AI)?
Here are some recommended reads this month that could help you get there:
