Well, we didn’t produce a teen slasher movie that turned into a successful franchise, but we did host a chilling event on a dark rainy afternoon. Now when I say chilling, I’m talking about groups of clients and vendors enjoying ice-cold beverages and great food at the Summer Marketing Camp we held back in August. We hosted food trucks from Barrio and East Coast Custard, much to the delight of our guests who were willing to step out in the rain (umbrellas provided) to partake of the tasty treats. It was more than just fun and games though; we also shared some valuable advice on how to deliver “Measurably Better Marketing” from a variety of industry experts.

It’s that time of year, when B2B marketers create their big ideas and big plans for market domination in 2019.

And as every good marketer knows, next year’s plans begin with a review of this year: what campaigns worked and what didn’t? For most B2B marketers and for most companies, 2018 was a good year. Customers were buying, and many companies will finish 2018 with solid gains in revenue and likely profitability. Marketers are faced with that never-ending challenge – sure, this year was good. But what will you do for me NEXT year? How do we ensure that you don’t lose the traction that was gained last year?

One of our primary practice areas is marketing to the technical buyer.  So we’re passionate about learning how engineers look for information about new products and technologies, and just what captures their attention.

We marketers seem to spend so much time preparing for product launches – get the web page launched, fuss over the data sheet, and prepare for searchability. Then, we throw it over the transom to the salespeople, and wonder why orders take so long to ramp up.  “Have at it, sales team.” But they have no input on key applications, competitive advantages, or who to target first.

Much of our work involves helping manufacturers prepare their new products for launch. We’ll spend quite a bit of time crafting a message for a product, and then building a lead generation campaign to support it.

It all begins with the budget, and that’s where the confusion starts as well. Every CEO asks, how much should I spend on marketing? And every marketing VP asks, where will I get the most impact?
