The Forrester Research Interactive Marketing Forecast indicates that B2B brands spend more on Paid Search than SEO, Email and Social, by more than 10 to 1. With more empowered and knowledgeable customers increasingly doing more category, company and product research on their own, it is critical for B2B brands (in the technology sector in particular) to find ways to drown out the noise on the search engine results page and capture their customer’s attention, then initiate an action.
Through an analysis of about 20 top B2B hardware and software providers, Tim Trus, Search and Media Director at Rosetta, gleaned some very simple and actionable key takeaways.

Building a Magnetic Brand - A Framework for Value-Driven Brand MarketingJoseph Schwartz
What makes a B2B brand magnetic? Is it great content engagement? Lovable marketing? It may seem obvious but brands that message value generally attract customers virally. It is part of the lore in technology for example that one of the great computer engineering companies of the 20th century, Digital Equipment or DEC, lost its battle with HP, Sun, IBM an others in distributed computing because of its failure to promote the value of its solutions effectively.
Great product businesses have frequently been overtaken by competitors with inferior products but strong value-driven brand marketing when they fail to weave value into their brands.

Trends in B2B Marketing: Rebooting your Strategic Content and Communications ...Hannah Flynn
Content is a B2B brand’s currency to demonstrate relevance and, with emerging channels and interfaces like chat and voice, it’s bringing brands closer to their customers.

The engine underneath is training, governance and a modern content and communications organization.
Transforming from Call Center to Contact Center How-To GuideDemand Metric
Executive Summary
If loyal customers are the lifeblood of a successful marketing program, call centers are the heartbeat. It is within the call center that happy customers become loyal advocates or disenchanted. All too often, however, call centers are viewed by marketing professionals as an afterthought instead of a key to customer loyalty, customer satisfaction and as a lead generation.
Modern marketers must move from seeing Customer Care as a secondary supporting function to one of primary importance to marketing programs and lead generation, along with other digital marketing and sales activities.
This How-To Guide challenges marketers to view the call center as a potential source of revenue and lead generation as well as the hub of Customer Care. This report discusses the misperceptions around call centers and shows modern marketers how to transform their call center (cost center) into a Modern Contact Center (profit center) by recognizing its strategy in lead generation and customer experience.
This brief 11-page How-To Guide is designed to provide practical advice for building a Modern Contact Center and outlines the following:

Adopting a customer-centric business strategy requires a carefully planned and executed organizational transformation. That kind of change alone is difficult enough without the added pressure of unfounded fears and flawed assumptions. A 2016 Merkle study, in partnership with Adobe, revealed several truths that run counter to commonly held beliefs about what is required to successfully implement people-based marketing across the enterprise.
Our research findings, combined with more than 25 years of experience helping clients place their customers at the center of their business strategy, will help you build the case for change by providing you with key data points to support your initiative. Our new report dispels some of the common myths about transformation – misconceptions that can lead marketers down the wrong path by instilling either excess confidence or unnecessary fear.

SEO is no longer just about search.
In fact, SEO, which in its early days focused primarily on keywords
(finding, optimizing, ranking), is now a baseline factor of a broader Internet
Marketing strategy across the Enterprise.
This new SEO-driven market segment that has been called Web
Presence Management (WPM) is based on the reality that keywords no
longer drive search results, but rather optimized content does.
As the SEO market matures, quality measures, such as reputation, trust,
content relevance and author authority, are replacing the old quantity
metrics, such as keyword rankings and link volume.
Advanced SEO solutions now weigh campaign performance metrics
(based on brand building, site traffic and conversion) more heavily than
keyword rankings.
This reality is based on changes in the way customers search, the
increasingly integrated omni-channel marketing environment and,
most notably, changes to Google’s Search Engine Results Page (SERP)
algorithms that favor page content freshness, density and content-rich
media over standard keyword search.
All of this means that Modern Marketing Organizations (MMOs) must
re-evaluate their SEO strategies, processes and campaigns.
In this report we will examine the state of the market, share results from the
SEO Benchmark Study, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of 15 top
SEO solutions in our vendor landscape to help organizations choose the
best solution for them, highlight the current trends in SEO that will have an
impact on Enterprise SEO initiatives and provide some recommendations
for the way forward as SEO is redefined right before our eyes.

b2b lead generation and appointment setting servicesFunnL
B2B lead generation and appointment setting services are specialized solutions aimed at identifying potential business customers and scheduling sales meetings for B2B companies. These services use a combination of strategies, including email outreach, social media engagement, content marketing, and cold calling, to attract and nurture leads. The primary goal is to fill the sales pipeline with high-quality prospects that match the company's ideal customer profile.
By outsourcing these tasks to experts, businesses can focus on closing deals and servicing clients, rather than spending valuable time on prospecting. These services are particularly beneficial for companies looking to expand their market reach, enter new industries, or scale their sales operations efficiently.
Effective B2B lead generation and appointment setting involve thorough research to personalize approaches, timely follow-ups to keep potential clients engaged, and a deep understanding of the target market's pain points and needs. This approach not only ensures a steady flow of qualified leads but also sets the stage for successful sales meetings, ultimately leading to higher conversion rates and business growth.
Net Promoter is an increasingly popular method of measuring loyalty. This article describes the approach and why a single measure is not enough to improve business performance.
