We will be presenting and elaborating on the results of a two-step study we carried out to understand marketing executives’ challenges and suggested solutions related to international B2B branding and marketing:
- First, we conducted a quantitative survey of marketing executives to get a good understanding of the challenges they experience and their thoughts on how to solve these
- This was followed by in-depth interviews with over 20 CMOs from leading B2B companies to understand why traditional marketing impact is stalling in today's environment
One overarching finding is that there exists a critical gap between increasingly complex buying journeys and the marketing capabilities designed to meet them.
Some of the themes covered in the webinar:
- The five core challenges currently shaping the B2B marketing landscape and how leading organizations are responding
- Visibility is survival: With sales cycles now measured in years, failing to build trust early means you are simply not in the picture when the deal is made
- Efficiency over volume: Activity is increasing but impact isn't; real effectiveness requires deliberate exclusion and sharper focus rather than just more resources
- Commercial influence: Since only very few B2B companies currently align marketing with finance, closing this gap is the only way to move from being a "cost center" to a primary growth driver
