A series of interviews with
some of the brightest minds
in marketing and social business…
THE B2B MARKETING INSIDER’S
FUTURE OF MARKETING SERIES
MOST PEOPLE THINK MARKETING
IS THE SAME THING AS ADVERTISING.
To me, it has always been about
helping the buyer on their journey
through customer-focused
communication. Now social media
networks and mobile internet
access are making content the hot
new thing in marketing. Content
our customers want. Content our
customers can consume whenever
and wherever they want.
This was my prediction about the
future of marketing. That the truly
“social business” will use all of its
employee resources to communicate
with buyers, customers, partners
and potential future employees. And
marketing can play the leading role
in helping us make this transition.
But I was curious to hear what some
of the greatest minds in marketing
and social media saw as they
considered the future of marketing.
This is their story…
INTRODUCTION
REAL-TIME MARKETING:
THE NEW TRADING
ROOM FLOOR
 	 Brian Kardon is the CMO for Lattice Engines

“
It is not a question of ‘if’, but ‘when’
algorithmic marketing emerges. Just
as the quants on Wall Street and Watson
on Jeopardy! came calling, the future
for real-time marketing is software that
harnesses the power of Big Data to
deliver better marketing in real-time.”
“FACEBOOK IS
THE INTERNET FOR 
MILLENNIALS”
MARK SCHAEFER
SEARCH AS WE KNOW IT
IS ABOUT TO DISAPPEAR
“
The information density on the web
is ridiculous and getting worse every day.
‘Knoxville pizza’ returns 8 million entries,
none of them connected to my social
graph or recommendations from my friends.
This is why Facebook is going to dominate
search. Today, Facebook IS the Internet
for Millennials.”

Professor and Author of Return On Influence.

“
We are putting more discipline into running
Marketing like a business... If we are doing
something solely because ‘we have always
done that’ marketing campaign, tactic or
activity, that’s not a good reason. If we are
going to drive greater business impact, we
need to challenge the ‘marketing status
quo’ and look to improve every aspect of
the way we run our marketing business.”
THE SCIENCE OF MARKETING
IS TAKING OVER

“UTILITY,
EMPATHY AND
INSPIRATION”
ANN HANDLEY
“
Those who kill it with content in 2013
and beyond are those brands that view
publishing as a privilege. They are the ones
who create content that is packed with
utility, empathy and inspiration. They are
rewarded with customers who love and
trust and believe in them.”

Ann Handley is Chief Content Officer

THE POWER OF MARKETING
AND TECHNOLOGY
“
Creating a content marketing culture
is the challenge nobody really talks
about but may be the single biggest
determinant of success or failure.
It calls for a full-on commitment
to a new way of working, thinking,
behaving and collaborating — and
that doesn’t happen without some
serious effort.”

CULTURE IS THE KEY
TO MARKETING SUCCESS
“
More and better-understood data will
give the analysts more influence, but
since data, by definition, can provide only
a view of the past (even if it’s the immediate
past), we’ll need forward-thinking creative
capabilities more than ever.”

BUSINESSES NEED TO HAVE
A STRATEGIC THOUGHT
LEADERSHIP PROCESS
“
If marketers don’t stop thinking of themselves
as “a focus group of one,” … the chasm will
only widen between highly successful, truly
client-centric companies and the “also-rans”
who imagine they are representative of the
people they are presumably trying to serve,
and flounder as a result.”
“
Social interactions will allow the entrepreneur
to connect to the consumer like never before. 
It is hard for the big enterprise to make that
connection and sometimes I’m not sure that
the executives of these big companies want to.”

“
It’s an incredibly exciting time to
be working in marketing. While it’s
challenging to keep one’s bearings
as our discipline — really our whole
world — changes so rapidly around
us, it’s also a once-in-a-generation
opportunity to help shape the future

“
My take on the future of marketing is
that it will continue to be driven by the
customer and technology but I believe the
changes will be swifter and more profound
than what we have seen to date.”
“
Consumers see social proof as their
social power. While we may all be
dumping on influence measurement,
consumers are seeking influence.
So if you are thinking about your
brand, you are busted. You need to
be thinking much more about your
customer’s brand.”

“
There are three major marketer challenges in our
customer-driven economy: improving customer
engagement, harnessing data-driven insights,
and generating measurable, scalable value and
ROI for our business.”
“
I think many marketers have lost sight of
the basics on how to develop a marketing
strategy. Who is your target? What do they
want? What can you offer them that others
can’t? As marketers have increasingly
specialized in technology, automation,
data or social, in many ways we have lost
the ability to develop sound, effective
marketing strategy.”

“ACT AND BE

CHRIS HERBERT
“
Whether a company is small (less than
10 employees) or large (thousands
of employees) the organization can
no longer view marketing as a siloed
function.  Every employee regardless
of their role and department needs
to think, act and be accountable for
marketing the company.”

“
Marketing is in the throes of a buyer
revolution and caught flat-footed on
what to do about it. New technologies
have awakened a sleeping giant who
for decades had a longing to control
more of the buyer-seller relationship. 
The simple fact is – now they can.”

MARKETING LEADERS NEED
TO SHIFT THEIR THINKING
“
CMOs must embrace experimentation,
fail fast, get close to the customer, reduce
internal approval cycles, and focus on
fewer, more actionable metrics.”
CLEARLY, THERE ARE AS MANY FUTURES
IN MARKETING AS THERE ARE EXPERTS.
It’s a hugely exciting time to be
a B2B marketer and the expert
interviews show just how fast-
moving, diverse and downright
interesting this whole thing is.
If you haven’t already, do read the
full interviews – they’re well worth
your time.
Finally, I want to give a massive thank
you to all the experts in the series.
It was more than a pleasure talking
with you – it was an education.

The Future of Marketing - B2B Marketing Expert Interviews eBook

  • 1. A series of interviews with some of the brightest minds in marketing and social business… THE B2B MARKETING INSIDER’S FUTURE OF MARKETING SERIES
  • 2. MOST PEOPLE THINK MARKETING IS THE SAME THING AS ADVERTISING. To me, it has always been about helping the buyer on their journey through customer-focused communication. Now social media networks and mobile internet access are making content the hot new thing in marketing. Content our customers want. Content our customers can consume whenever and wherever they want. This was my prediction about the future of marketing. That the truly “social business” will use all of its employee resources to communicate with buyers, customers, partners and potential future employees. And marketing can play the leading role in helping us make this transition. But I was curious to hear what some of the greatest minds in marketing and social media saw as they considered the future of marketing. This is their story… INTRODUCTION
  • 3. REAL-TIME MARKETING: THE NEW TRADING ROOM FLOOR  Brian Kardon is the CMO for Lattice Engines  @Bkardon  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/strategy/ real-time-marketing-trading-room-floor “ It is not a question of ‘if’, but ‘when’ algorithmic marketing emerges. Just as the quants on Wall Street and Watson on Jeopardy! came calling, the future for real-time marketing is software that harnesses the power of Big Data to deliver better marketing in real-time.”
  • 4. “FACEBOOK IS THE INTERNET FOR  MILLENNIALS” MARK SCHAEFER
  • 5. SEARCH AS WE KNOW IT IS ABOUT TO DISAPPEAR “ The information density on the web is ridiculous and getting worse every day. ‘Knoxville pizza’ returns 8 million entries, none of them connected to my social graph or recommendations from my friends. This is why Facebook is going to dominate search. Today, Facebook IS the Internet for Millennials.”  Mark Schaefer is a Social Media Consultant, Professor and Author of Return On Influence.  @MarkwSchaefer  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/strategy/ future-of-marketing-search-is-dead
  • 6. “ We are putting more discipline into running Marketing like a business... If we are doing something solely because ‘we have always done that’ marketing campaign, tactic or activity, that’s not a good reason. If we are going to drive greater business impact, we need to challenge the ‘marketing status quo’ and look to improve every aspect of the way we run our marketing business.” THE SCIENCE OF MARKETING IS TAKING OVER  Marcus Starke is the SVP, Worldwide Marketing Regions at SAP.  @marstarke  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/strategy/ the-future-of-marketing-marketing-and-it- come-together
  • 8. “ Those who kill it with content in 2013 and beyond are those brands that view publishing as a privilege. They are the ones who create content that is packed with utility, empathy and inspiration. They are rewarded with customers who love and trust and believe in them.”  Ann Handley is Chief Content Officer of MarketingProfs and co-author of Content Rules.  @MarketingProfs  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/strategy/ content-brands-future-of-marketing-ann-handley THE FUTURE WILL BRING MORE CONTENT BRANDS
  • 9. “ The consumer is looking for transparency, trust, relevance and engagement. You are going to need a social media strategy to deliver on those expectations.”  Alan See is the Chief Marketing Officer of CMO Temps.  @AlanSee  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/content- marketing/customer-and-content-are-king-in- the-future-of-marketing THE CUSTOMER AND CONTENT ARE KING
  • 10. “ This year is also the year companies start to work out how to leverage their internal employees’ networks to promote content. It’s a very attractive proposition.”  Todd Wheatland is the VP of Thought Leadership Marketing at Kelly Services, running their company blog and also the author of The Marketer’s Guide to Slideshare.  @toddwheatland  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/content-marketing/ content-and-technology-will-define-the-future-of-marketing THE POWER OF MARKETING AND TECHNOLOGY
  • 11. “ Creating a content marketing culture is the challenge nobody really talks about but may be the single biggest determinant of success or failure. It calls for a full-on commitment to a new way of working, thinking, behaving and collaborating — and that doesn’t happen without some serious effort.”  Doug Kessler, the Creative Director and Co-founder of Velocity Partners.  @DougKessler  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/content- marketing/doug-kessler CULTURE IS THE KEY TO MARKETING SUCCESS
  • 12. “ More and better-understood data will give the analysts more influence, but since data, by definition, can provide only a view of the past (even if it’s the immediate past), we’ll need forward-thinking creative capabilities more than ever.”  Steve McKee is the President of Marketing agency McKee Wallwork and author of When Growth Stalls.  @SteveMcKee  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/strategy/ big-data-marketing-future BIG DATA IS DRIVING POLARIZATION BETWEEN ANALYTICAL AND CREATIVE MARKETERS
  • 14.  Dr. Liz Alexander is a consultant and author of several books including her latest #Thought Leadership Tweet: 140 Prompts for Designing and Executing an Effective Thought Leadership Campaign.  @DrLizAlexander  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/content-marketing/ is-thought-leadership-the-future-of-marketing BUSINESSES NEED TO HAVE A STRATEGIC THOUGHT LEADERSHIP PROCESS “ If marketers don’t stop thinking of themselves as “a focus group of one,” … the chasm will only widen between highly successful, truly client-centric companies and the “also-rans” who imagine they are representative of the people they are presumably trying to serve, and flounder as a result.”
  • 15. “ Social interactions will allow the entrepreneur to connect to the consumer like never before.  It is hard for the big enterprise to make that connection and sometimes I’m not sure that the executives of these big companies want to.”  Daniel Newman is the Co-Founder and CEO of EC3. He is also the author of the best selling business book The Millennial CEO.   @DanielNewmanUV  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/strategy/ customer-experience-future-of-marketing CUSTOMER FOCUS: SMALL BUSINESSES WILL UNSEAT LARGE COMPLACENT COMPANIES
  • 16. “ It’s an incredibly exciting time to be working in marketing. While it’s challenging to keep one’s bearings as our discipline — really our whole world — changes so rapidly around us, it’s also a once-in-a-generation opportunity to help shape the future of what marketing will become.”  Scott Brinker is the Chief Marketing Technology Officer and Co-founder of marketing software company ion interactive.  @ChiefMarTec  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/strategy/is-big-testing- the-future-of-marketing THE REAL REVOLUTION OF DATA-DRIVEN MARKETING IS IN BIG TESTING
  • 17. “DRIVEN BY THE CUSTOMER AND TECHNOLOGY” PAULA CUSATI
  • 18.  Paula Cusati is the digital marketing manager at TELUS Communications.  @PaulaCusati  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/strategy/ the-future-of-marketing-adapt-and-be-creative ADAPT AND BE CREATIVE TO ADDRESS OUR CUSTOMERS’ NEEDS “ My take on the future of marketing is that it will continue to be driven by the customer and technology but I believe the changes will be swifter and more profound than what we have seen to date.”
  • 19. “ Consumers see social proof as their social power. While we may all be dumping on influence measurement, consumers are seeking influence. So if you are thinking about your brand, you are busted. You need to be thinking much more about your customer’s brand.”  Nick Kellet is Co-founder of List.ly  @NickKellet  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/strategy/ customer-brand FOCUS ON BUILDING YOUR CUSTOMER’S BRAND
  • 20. “ In the future more and more marketers will focus on creating content as brands themselves. Brands that increase demand for the products they sell.”  Andrew Davis is a consultant, speaker and the author of “Brandscaping: Unleashing the Power of Partnerships”.  @tpldrew  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/content- marketing/branded-content-to-content-brand MOVING FROM BRANDED CONTENT TO CONTENT BRANDS
  • 21. “WE ARE ALL OUR OWN BRAND” STEVE OLENSKI
  • 22. “ I cannot overstate just how important I think personal branding is for everyone.

  • 23.  Sandra Zoratti is Vice President of Marketing at Ricoh as well as author of the book “Precision Marketing”.  @sandraz  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/strategy/ agile-marketing COLLABORATIVE AGILE MARKETING: LISTEN. ASK. SHARE “ There are three major marketer challenges in our customer-driven economy: improving customer engagement, harnessing data-driven insights, and generating measurable, scalable value and ROI for our business.”
  • 24. “ I think many marketers have lost sight of the basics on how to develop a marketing strategy. Who is your target? What do they want? What can you offer them that others can’t? As marketers have increasingly specialized in technology, automation, data or social, in many ways we have lost the ability to develop sound, effective marketing strategy.”  Costanza Tedesco is the Senior Vice President of Marketing Communications at SAP.  @CostanzaT  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/strategy/getting-back- to-the-basics-of-marketing EXPERIENCE AND IDEAS WILL BECOME MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER
  • 25. “ Successful organizations in the new business climate have dynamic, engaging social executives who know exactly how to fuel and empower their employees and show them what it means to be social.”  Cheryl Burgess is co-founder of Blue Focus Marketing and co-author (with husband Mark) of the upcoming book, The Social Employee: How Great Companies Make Social Media Work   @ckburgess  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/social-media/ social-employees-the-future-of-marketing ENGAGE AND EMPOWER YOUR SOCIAL EMPLOYEES
  • 26. “ACT AND BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR MARKETING ” CHRIS HERBERT
  • 27. “ Whether a company is small (less than 10 employees) or large (thousands of employees) the organization can no longer view marketing as a siloed function.  Every employee regardless of their role and department needs to think, act and be accountable for marketing the company.”  Chris Herbert is the founder of Mi6 Agency. He is also the founder of ProductCamp Toronto and the Hi-tech community Silicon Halton.  @B2Bspecialist  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/strategy/ marketing-must-be-integrated-into-the-whole-business MARKETING MUST BE INTEGRATED INTO THE WHOLE BUSINESS
  • 28. “ People want to do business with people. We need to break through the clutter, establish a connection, build trust and credibility and maintain a relationship over time.

  • 30. “ Marketing is in the throes of a buyer revolution and caught flat-footed on what to do about it. New technologies have awakened a sleeping giant who for decades had a longing to control more of the buyer-seller relationship.  The simple fact is – now they can.”  Tony Zambito is the founder of the buyer persona concept and soon can be found at TonyZambito.com.  @TonyZambito  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/strategy/ marketing-buyer-revolution MARKETING IS IN THE THROES OF A BUYER REVOLUTION
  • 31.  Margaret Molloy is the CMO at Siegel+Gale.  @MargaretMolloy  http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/strategy/5-mindset- shifts-marketing-leaders-must-make MARKETING LEADERS NEED TO SHIFT THEIR THINKING “ CMOs must embrace experimentation, fail fast, get close to the customer, reduce internal approval cycles, and focus on fewer, more actionable metrics.”
  • 32. CLEARLY, THERE ARE AS MANY FUTURES IN MARKETING AS THERE ARE EXPERTS. It’s a hugely exciting time to be a B2B marketer and the expert interviews show just how fast- moving, diverse and downright interesting this whole thing is. If you haven’t already, do read the full interviews – they’re well worth your time. Finally, I want to give a massive thank you to all the experts in the series. It was more than a pleasure talking with you – it was an education. CONCLUSION Michael Brenner B2B Marketing Insider
