Dear B2C marketers,
Is it me or are you slowly turning into B2B marketers?
Understanding the business, data sheets and speaking C-level lingo is our thing. Please buzz off!
Warm disregard,
B2B marketers
HubSpot ’s State of Marketing 2024 report, 15% of B2B marketers identify sales and marketing misalignment as their biggest challenge.
When sales and marketing work in sync, companies see 38% higher win rates and 36% better customer retention.

If you are in a situation where stakeholders already deemed your campaign a failure 72 hours after launch, show them this.

Put that on a t-shirt!
Semrush reported over 40% of B2B marketing teams reorganized in 2023, and 67% of CMOs expect even more reshuffles in 2024.
This is driven partly by the need to prioritize content creation to meet buyers online, where 89% of their journey begins.

Preach
I often see B2B SaaS focusing on channels when the real priority should be identifying your target persona and understanding why they’d care about your product. 🎯
Nail that first, then figure out the best way to reach them.

100% Playing hard to get, may work with B2C, but will definitely kill your B2B business.
66% of B2B leaders are already leveraging AI tools in their marketing strategies. But the real question isn’t whether to use AI—it’s how to use it effectively.
Is AI just a glorified content writer, or is it reshaping how we market?

B2B Marketing is still behind in education and awareness amongst business leaders. Leaders in B2B orgs imagine traditional or B2C activities when they think of marketing, then set targets accordingly. There is still work to be done on B2B marketing education vs B2C.
Adding to this POV, data availability is also a major concern. Marketers over rely on basic information to personalize, and when everyone uses the same data sets without expanding on it, almost all communications start looking the same.
According to Adobe’s “Personalization at Scale” study, 87% of B2B customers expect fully or mostly personalized content when engaging with companies.
The question is: How much personalization is enough? Is the effort worth the ROI, or are we overcomplicating the process?
B2B Marketers are under constant pressure to deliver quick wins. Which makes it easy to focus on short-term metrics like lead generation and conversions. But research shows businesses that invest in brand equity see 2x more growth over time compared to those that don’t.
Can a balance be achieved?
B2B marketing is evolving faster than ever. Buyers now complete 67% of their journey online before even speaking to sales.
This means marketers need to focus on providing real value through digital content and personalized experiences.

Not all Marketing Activities are created equally!
B2B marketing is very different to other marketing activities. Not to say that it's more difficult, or complex. Just different. Each require their own approaches and attribution models, which comes with it's own complexities and barriers.
