Informa TechTarget’s Media Consumption survey data can serve as a helpful guide for marketing and sales leaders looking to better understand how role and function dynamics can affect content creation and outreach.  

Join us as Senior Director of Research and Market Insights, Corey DeFreese, and VP of Product Innovation, Research and Insights, Katie Graybeal, illuminate the path with actionable tips for marketing and sales leaders looking to break through. They’ll cover:  

-The latest insights on how job level, function and other factors should influence how you look to engage buyers throughout the buy cycle.  
-Ways Marketing can enrich content to better bridge the buyer-seller divide. 
-A behind-the-scenes look at how tech buyers actually conduct research and how you can leverage the resulting data and insights to reach your objectives.

Decision-Making Dynamics: Roles, Buying Teams and the Tech Purchase Process

Part of what makes creating great content so challenging for marketers is the need to continuously engage and excite buyers. Finding new story ideas within the confines of a market, topic or product can feel near impossible – and failed attempts often result in decreased engagement. Similarly, journalists are constantly on the hunt for their next story or angle within the confines of their beat. What if there was a way to shift our thinking from merely creating to discovering compelling stories, much like a journalist does? 

In this episode of B2B Content Brilliance, Fiona O’Connor (Sr. Manager, Informa TechTarget) sits down with Bridget Botelho (Editorial Director, News Department, Informa TechTarget) to learn more about a journalist’s approach to finding stories and how B2B marketers can adopt a similar mindset to elevate their content, drive more engagement and convert buyers.

Think Like a Journalist: Finding Great Story Ideas

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.

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.  

In this webinar, join Fiona O’Connor (Sr. Manager, TechTarget) and Ben Hillman (Executive Producer, Paddle) as they discuss the realities of B2B video production and what it takes to create great videos.

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.

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 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.
