Every time we communicate with prospective buyers, we’re making promises, consciously or unconsciously. Get them right, and you’ll grow buyer trust and brand affinity. Get them wrong, and you risk losing confidence and consideration. If your content isn’t delivering on your marketing goals, there’s a good chance that you’re either missing the mark on what your target audience is seeking or your content isn’t coming from a source that they trust.

In this webinar, Susan Smith (Sr. Director, Product Marketing, TechTarget) and Dave Gruber (Principal Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group) will build on the research-proven “customer promise” concept (discussed in our Creating a Memorable Marketing Message that Lasts webinar), and provide actionable steps on how to improve your content and messaging. They’ll share proven near-term content options to bolster any tech marketing program, strategic approaches for developing promises that will resonate with target audiences, and a “good, better, best” framework you can put to work immediately to better understand and engage buyers, and build buyer trust in your customer promise.

Good, Better, Best: How to Deliver Great Content Marketing Outcomes

According to a Forrester survey, 85% of marketers using intent data see results. However, as their demand engine grows, so can the potential challenges evolve and change. Whether it's struggling to reach the right audience, delivering content that resonates, or boosting brand visibility, these roadblocks can hinder ROI and slow growth if not addressed. With 2025 approaching, now is the time to tackle these challenges and fine-tune your demand generation strategy for the new year. 

Join Kristin Prosowski, VP of Products (TechTarget), as she reveals the key aspects of demand generation strategy that shouldn't be overlooked, whether you’re building for 2025 or beyond.  Get the tools you need to solve the day-to-day marketing challenges you are seeing now and head into the new year with a foundational GTM strategy that combines TechTarget’s content, intent, and audience offerings to drive real demand.

“Quality might not always be the right answer, but it’s always the right question.” As B2B buyers’ hunger for video content continues to grow, many marketing teams are looking for better ways to fuel their video content engine – and, often, the search for quality is a driving force.

They’ll tap into decades of combined experience to share how to set the right objectives for your video content and set your team up for success.

When it comes to B2B video content production, design and marketing folks often throw around the saying, “perfection is the enemy of progress.” But when we think about visual content, great execution goes hand-in-hand with success. Creators must then find a way to balance quality with scale, amidst the pressures of limited time and budget.

Perfection vs. Scale: Achieving Balance in B2B Video Production

To have any chance of driving more revenue from a set of target accounts, you first have to engage them better somehow. And because today’s self-directed buyers prefer digital content, the challenge really comes down to whether you’re able to make the necessary content to meet your engagement needs. So how do you know what’s needed for better engagement? And how do you fill any critical gaps in what you’re doing today?

Join John Steinert, CMO (TechTarget) and Greg Anderson, SVP of Client Relations (Enterprise Strategy Group) as they think together about determining what content a given buying group requires and how to help ABM teams deliver exactly that. Using real-world examples, they’ll explore insights into buying teams, proven content types for specific use cases and blind spots that many teams unfortunately fail to address before they go live. These tips are sure to fortify your ABM content foundation so you’ll be able to improve what you’re already doing and strengthen new programming from the start.

Success Drivers: Two Essentials for ABM That Wins

Research indicates that while only 2% of sales conversions are made during the first point of contact, roughly 80% develop between the 5th and 12th contact attempt. To generate the most ROI from lead gen activities and increase conversion rates, demand generation marketers must drive quality engagement with priority contacts and enable their sales colleagues to orchestrate personalized outreach and lead follow-up to create more quality touchpoints during this window of opportunity. 

If you are facing continuous pressure to build sales pipeline, listen in as members of TechTarget’s award-winning Customer Success team share a proven blueprint for effective lead follow-up. You'll learn how to engage buyers by incorporating nurture programs, optimizing SDR motions, and empowering tailored sales outreach with intent data. You'll also get insights into how marketing automation, integration platforms, and even artificial intelligence can help boost ROI and increase conversions at scale.

Mapping B2B Content to Each Stage of the New Sales Funnel

As a revenue marketer steeped in your own organization’s ideas, positioning and challenges, it’s easy to develop blind spots and an affinity for the familiar. This can make it incredibly difficult to drive organizational change, innovate your campaigns, test new messaging and evolve your overall go-to-market strategy. Maura Ginty, a leading fractional CMO and GTM advisor, has a unique vantage point.

Transforming GTM Approaches with AI: From Planning to Implementation

Buying groups are all the rage (or haven’t you heard?). Forrester predicted the death of MQLs and the rise of Buying Groups. And for years this transition seemed aspirational and “future state.” But now? Now it’s starting to become a reality. In a new TechTarget survey of hundreds of B2B IT providers, nearly half said their company is embracing a buying group strategy in the next year. 

In this session we’ll dive deep into the survey data to reveal how your peers are approaching buying groups. We’ll discuss tales from the field: real-life examples of how companies of all sizes are making this transition via people, process and technology. And we’ll talk about how TechTarget’s product roadmap can help you take the next step, whether you’re on the first leg of the journey or already well underway.

Buying Groups: Next Steps to Making it Real (No Matter Where You Are At)

Adopting a holistic and cohesive marketing approach has never been more crucial as IT buyers continue to take a self-directed path to engaging with and discovering your solutions. This can be easier said than done, and many marketers struggle to execute global campaigns across various channels. Yet Akamai, the cloud company that powers and protects life online, has successfully integrated disparate tactics and approaches into a cohesive integrated marketing strategy. What do they do differently? 

Join Sean MacKinnon, Customer Success Director, EMEA (TechTarget), as he sits down with Zoe Latchford, Sr. Field Marketing Manager, EMEA (Akamai), to discuss how her team drills down to focus on what matters.

Gone are the days when buyers relied heavily on sales reps to access information and solve their tech challenges. Instead, modern IT professionals are utilizing a vast variety of sources to prioritize their own independent research. While this shift might initially seem challenging, it presents a golden opportunity for go-to-market (GTM) teams looking to position their brand as an invaluable resource. 

This new era of the IT buyer’s journey could require significant adjustments to your GTM strategy. For a deeper understanding of how the modern IT buyer’s journey happens, join Liam Jack, Senior Account Director, EMEA (TechTarget), as he shares the latest research on EMEA buyer’s purchase motivations, team dynamics, media consumption habits, vendor evaluation criteria, and more.

Adapting GTM Motions to Reflect the Modern Buying Journey in EMEA

For complex and expensive B2B purchase decisions, everyone understands the logic of Buying Group thinking -- heck, most of us are already participants in the process! And we all know that MQLs are interesting signals, they’re just not very strong or predictive on their own. So, if the new ideas about long-needed lead management changes make so much sense, why hasn’t everyone jumped right in on making it happen? That’s the question we asked Palo Alto Networks’ Jeremy Schwartz. And he’s able to explain the key challenges and how they’re working their way through every single one. 

Join Jeremy and TechTarget CMO John Steinert as they discuss how Jeremy is helping to drive GTM innovation from the inside. They’ll cover the business benefits of the Buying Groups concept; how to think about it, communicate it, and work through the change management elements necessary to bring it to life in a global leading-edge corporation.
