Assembling Your Demand Gen Toolbox for 2025

Quick: you only have seconds to capture a buyer’s attention. What story do you tell? That’s the challenge facing marketers today. In a noisy marketplace, how can you create content that makes your brand stand out in less time than it takes to microwave a burrito? 

Join BrightTALK's production experts as they take you behind the scenes with The Studio, the webinar series pulling back the curtain on B2B production in the marketing world. In this episode, we’re sharing best practices for using video and animation to maximize your social media strategy. From managing the classic “thought leadership” vs. “sales-y” tightrope to developing modular content that can go the distance, our experts will share plenty of tips and tricks to help you stop the scroll.

Video that Clicks: Creating Content for B2B Social Media

Webinars have become an essential tool for B2B marketers to engage buyers and share valuable information. But when it comes to generating registrations, maximizing participation, and delivering an overall seamless experience, how do you make sure your webinars are truly user friendly?

In this episode of BrightTALK’s Build a Better Webinar series, we’ll walk you through how to remove friction from your webinars so your audience can focus on connecting with your business. From simplifying the registration process to maintaining consistent branding throughout, you’ll come away with a framework for the ideal webinar user journey.

Build a Better Webinar: Optimizing Audience Experience

If you’re a content marketer, you can probably relate to that feeling of being on a hamster wheel – focused and working hard but knowing the pace is unsustainable – and needing to find an off ramp. You’re under pressure to keep your content fresh, generate content in different formats, personalize content for target buying teams, or just generate more and more assets. Or maybe you’re challenged to come up with new ideas and topics that will resonate with your audience. You (rather quickly) surmise that you don’t like being a hamster.

With all the hype around artificial intelligence, you’re probably wondering if generative AI (GenAI) can solve your content creation problems. However, many B2B tech buyers are wary of AI-generated content and, in response, are leaning into expert-authored content. So, if AI isn’t the panacea (and you don’t want to be a hamster), how do you get a sustainable stream of the right content to engage your target audience and move them swiftly to a decision to purchase your solution?

In this episode of our B2B Content Brilliance series, Lauren Whitehouse (Enterprise Strategy Group) and Susan Smith (TechTarget) talk about “classic” content – its characteristics, why you need it and how to create it for each stage of the buyer’s journey. They’ll look at the role of subject matter experts in creating this type of content and how it can make your content engine more efficient.

Classic is Cool: Lessons in Content Marketing

A great presenter can elevate a brand faster than almost anything else, but identifying the right speakers can be difficult for even the most experienced program planners. Plus, once you've identified your perfect presenter, how do you even get them on board?

In this episode of BrightTALK’s Build a Better Webinar series, we’ll dive into all things speaker recruitment. From identifying and cultivating both internal and external presenters to templates for making and tracking your requests, we’ll cover everything you need to build and maintain a bench of expert talent.

Build a Better Webinar: Recruiting Speakers

The webinar. It’s the bread and butter of any marketing campaign that educates prospects effectively and moves them down the sales funnel. But in a world where B2B professionals consume and participate in video experiences daily, “talking heads” won’t make your content stand out. How can marketers create webinars that grab—and keep—the attention of the people they need to engage?  

Join BrightTALK's production experts as they take you behind the scenes with The Studio, the webinar series pulling back the curtain on B2B production in the marketing world. In this episode, we’ll talk about strategies big and small that marketers can use to differentiate their webinar content. From speaker coaching and up-leveling production quality to smarter storytelling and distribution tactics, our experts will share plenty of tips to help you create webinars worth watching.

How Can I Make My Webinars...Not Boring?

In this edition of B2B Content Brilliance, TechTarget CMO John Steinert is joined by Chief Creative Officer Victoria Azarian (Cannes Lions, Effie, One Show). One look at her work and you’ll understand why it’s accelerated millions of dollars (and likely billions) in value for clients and for their customers.  

Our latest strategic session in this series examines the importance (and challenges) of using graphic design to help successfully communicate promises of value. The goal is to aid marketing and business leaders like you in identifying substantive design gaps and the impediments standing between where you are and where you want to be. We look to help you better recognize these, consider them, and articulate them to other leaders towards successful implementation of business-critical improvements.

Good Design is Good for Business

Webinars are incredibly powerful tools for B2B marketers, but sometimes a single webinar isn’t enough to sufficiently cover your chosen topic. And, if you want to be seen as an expert on the subject, you’ll want to make sure you’re providing a comprehensive overview.  

In this episode of BrightTALK’s Build a Better Webinar series, we’ll walk you through the value of developing a webinar series. From tips on topic selection to guidelines for branding your series, you’ll come away with actionable best practices for series development that will help you demonstrate your expertise and engage with your audience in a meaningful way.

Build a Better Webinar: Developing a Series

95% of marketers believe in-person events are crucial to achieving their company’s primary business goals, yet nearly half are unsatisfied with the results of their current event strategy and its impact on their company’s bottom line. This is especially true when you win the budget to invest considerable time and resources into a booth sponsorship at a large-scale conference. The ROI on your events shouldn’t feel so unpredictable.

“The secret to better, more reliable ROI,” says Steve Madeja, Creative Director (BrightTALK), “is actually using your investment – and your time in the booth – wisely. You need your event content to have the longest tail possible and great video is how you get that done.”

Join BrightTALK's production experts as they take you behind the scenes with The Studio, the content series pulling back the curtain on B2B production in the marketing world. Together, they'll demonstrate how you can use conferences and tradeshows as an unparalleled opportunity to create product marketing collateral, capture content for demand generation, raise brand awareness on social media and collect customer or third-party validations.
