[Webinar] Winning Marketing and Sales AlignmentKapost
Watch the webinar: http://resources.kapost.com/winning-marketing-sales-alignment-webinar.html
Sales and marketing have the same goal: Both teams want to drive revenue by attracting and retaining happy, high-quality customers.
But getting everyone on the same page is harder than it looks. All too often, teams end up going it alone, working in silos and wasting huge amounts of time on repetitive, unnecessary projects that don't provide the needed return on investment.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Cameron Caswell, Brand and Marketing Sr. Manager at Synopsys, recognized that sales enablement would benefit her content team just as much as it would benefit her organization's salespeople. Cameron's success story is all the proof we need that alignment is a prerequisite for the future of great marketing.
Welcome to the B2C Content Marketing Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends: Insights for 2022 report. This report looks back on the last 12 months and includes expectations for 2022.
Our research suggested that, due to work-from-home requirements, content marketing piqued the interest of many who were previously unaware of its power. With more people than ever spending time online, content marketing presented a prime opportunity for businesses to get and stay in front of audiences. Some B2C marketers discovered new audiences altogether.
Short articles and videos were big over the last 12 months with the B2C marketers we surveyed. In addition, expect a lot of B2C investment in video in 2022: 72% forecast investment in this area. Paid media came in a distant second.
Although most B2C marketers reported success with content marketing in the last 12 months, there are still challenges. Respondents said their top two content marketing challenges were creating content that appeals to multi-level roles within the target audience (42%) and internal communication between teams/silos (41%).
If B2C marketers can overcome these challenges, they’ll improve their odds of achieving greater content marketing success in 2022.
You'll learn:
- The ROI of customer advocacy
- Why advocacy matters for marketers (even if it’s not managed by your team)
- How to leverage advocates to create content for every stage of the funnel

Welcome to our annual B2C Content Marketing Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends report. Here we present the results from B2C marketers who replied to our 11th Annual Content Marketing Survey. The events of 2020 have certainly reshaped how organizations conduct their marketing. At the time of this survey, content marketers were still reeling from the events that took place during the first half of 2020. As we usher in 2021, we are still facing constant change and uncertainty.
Many B2C marketers reported adjusting quickly when the pandemic hit; perhaps their companies were doubling down on digital, heavily engaging in virtual events, or trying to keep on top of rapidly changing analytics resulting from more people being at home and online. All these scenarios created the need for new content, formats, and strategies.
As we move into 2021 in a world where most gatherings are still limited, direct-to-consumer will continue to drive B2C. Successful B2C marketers will focus on creating content experiences and building relationships in the digital world.

Welcome to B2C Content Marketing 2019—Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends. This report presents the results from the B2C marketers who took our ninth annual content marketing survey.
Our research has consistently shown that creating brand awareness is a top goal for B2C content marketing. However, many of this year’s survey respondents also reported strong concern for using content to solidify existing relationships (see page 13).
Content that can be effective at building loyalty takes many shapes and forms today, for example:

- In-person events that create a sense of community and belonging
- Podcasts that inspire
- Live or virtual experiences that evoke emotion
- Articles, guides, newsletters, etc., that provide information
Obviously, the list goes on. The point is, that while driving people to content is critical, giving them reasons to keep coming back will grow long-term success!

Using Content Marketing to Generate Engagement and Salesifarooq
By Geraint Holliman, Content Marketing specialist
Content marketing is the current ‘go to’ strategy for marketers who are trying to cut through the noise and clutter of the market place and generate real sales. But few people actually know what ‘content’ really is, let alone ‘content marketing’ and simply recycling sales materials and calling it ‘content’ is not the route to success.
In this session we’ll answer the questions:
What are ‘content’ and ‘content marketing’?
How does content marketing work?
Why is content marketing being compared to publishing?
What are the key elements of a content marketing strategy?
What approach to take in evaluating content marketing?

In the B2B world, many believe that buyers spend the first 60-70% of their journey consuming content. Then, if they are interested in buying, do they actively seek out a salesperson. While this implies that the salesperson’s primary role is to respond to product questions and present an offer, Forrester’s research shows the exact opposite to be true.

* Pam O'Neal, VP Marketing, BreakingPoint (@poneal)
Lead Generation: Developing A Conversational ApproachHannah Flynn
B2B buyers are self-guiding their purchase journey, consuming more content along their purchase path and involving more stakeholders in the final decision. Therefore, it is necessary for B2B marketing teams to align to this purchase path and to the buying committees.
This is not accomplished by creating more content or sending more communication, the key to success is establishing a conversation with your buyers that engages them in a meaningful dialogue and ultimately converts them to a customer.
