Content And The Future Of B2B Marketing

18,408 views

Published on

The commercial web is just 30 years old. Social just turned 12. And the mobile web is even younger. In a relatively short period of time, these technologies have drastically changed our world. As consumers, brands and marketers, we create, consume and share massive amounts of information. How does a B2B brand compete with all the noise and reach your target customers with relevant and timely information?

In this presentation, Michael will provide a roadmap and examples of how brands need to reach buyers with stories that help and entertain them at the individual level. You will learn how to create content that people actually want to read and share. And how to turn that engagement into real buyers you can count and real revenue for your business.

  • Good info in here. I'd recommend tools such as www.replyup.com (Gmail plugin to send friendly follow-up emails) and Rapportive (verifying email) among some of the marketing strategies. Does anyone have any other B2B tools they'd recommend?

  • Two things I mostly do to market my content are 1) Content Curation and 2) Blog Commenting. These two methods enables me to add value and create backlinks to my blog. I did a post titled "Hot to Get Domain Authority Backlinks for Free"; see it here http://danewah.com/how-to-get-domain-authority-backlinks-for-free/
