Over the last 15 years and still, in 2021, I have witnessed that most B2B Marketing teams are suffering from 5 key gaps:
5. Insufficient customer insights, marketing data & tech-based decision-making.
What do you think the future holds in this space?
To be able to solve these issues, it is key that the CMO or VP Marketing connects all the dots, from Customer Experience to Sales Enablement and Account-Centricity under a data-based, responsive Revenue Growth vision and operations. Equally important is how aligned our Marketing Leads are with their CEO, CFO, CIO, and CCO. Without those crucial elements, the whole Marketing team will never reach their full potential and, even worse, will crash & burn in 2022 due to a lack of measurable impact on their company’s bottom line.
B2B Marketing “teams of the future” need to think Ecosystem and Hybrid, which means three principles:
1. Expand their scope and vision to integrate clients, prospects, contractors, influencers, communities, partners, and even competitors in their go-to-market plan.
2. Build a fluid, on-demand team of core talent mixing freelance/interim senior experts, specialized boutique agencies, and own core talent for execution.
3. Plan, implement, and optimize in monthly & quarterly timeframes as opposed to yearly ones. Think dashboards, sprints, campaigns, and content execution as a core weapon and not just well-formatted slide decks and strategic plans.
What brands are leading the way in this space?
HubSpot, 6Sense, Engagio, ActiveCampaign.
