Most GTM leaders would agree that securing budget, getting buy-in from different stakeholders and successfully rolling out a new MarTech solution cross-organizationally is far from easy. And before you even start thinking about implementation, workflows and use cases, you must establish a strong business case for the technology that generates excitement from your go-to-market peers and support across your organization. The success and long-term adoption of the tool largely hinges on your ability to set expectations and clearly articulate the business need. Without this critical step in the process, it’s going to be hard to get all of the key stakeholders tracking towards the same goal. So how can you best approach building a business case for a much-needed solution? 

In this session, Panzura’s VP, International, Diego Devadas, will share his experience and practical insights on how he aligned cross-organizationally to build a strong business case for intent data and how he drove successful adoption. Diego will also discuss how cross-functional alignment doesn’t stop with the initial purchase of a platform and how Panzura is building a sophisticated roadmap to support other intent objectives across the business.

Panzura’s Story: Building a Business Case For Intent Data

As the market for intent data continues to grow dramatically, so do the possibilities for how we utilize these key engagement signals. With the scale of intent data expanding, we continue to see momentum in how intent is integrated within organizations, the speed at which we can act on surging signals, and the expansion of touchpoints. Join industry leaders as they strive to address how to effectively and efficiently predict their buyer’s needs using intent data and its signals.

Presenters:
• Sean MacKinnon, Director, Customer Success, EMEA (TechTarget)
• Anna Joanes-Cox, Associate Director, Strategy & Digital Marketing (Verizon Business Group)
• Meghan Weinreich, Manager, EMEA, ABM and Demand Generation Campaigns (Cloudflare)
• Suela Vahdat, Director of Marketing, EMEA (Contrast Security)
• Kiran Dhillon-Byrne, Director, Regional Marketing, EMEA, APJ & LATAM (Veracode)

Engaging Busy Buyers in the Age of Intent

There’s a lot of talk about AI’s potential to transform whole industries, and especially, to deliver faster results. Per the usual in marketing and sales, vendors of all stripes are jumping on the bandwagon, rolling out flashy AI-badged solutions. But faster doesn’t always mean better, especially given where we are right now. Let’s take this opportunity to level-set together. And let’s use Account-Based Marketing (ABM) as a sort of test case. What are some critical barriers to achieving better ABM ROI? What can be done about that now? And how could AI help, right now and in the near-term future? 

In this keynote session from Rebecca Kitchens (TechTarget’s President), we’ll contrast the pressure that’s on marketers to always go faster and bigger (because scale is a real ROI variable) and the very real need to do marketing better. We’ll take a closer look at TechTarget’s own AI POV, what we ourselves are doing, and the implications we think that has for tech go-to-market practices everywhere. For both your buyers and your companies’ brands and trajectories, our goal is to help you succeed now and in the future. Certainly, an important part of this will be about finding a good balance between humans in the loop and AI-fueled automation everywhere!

ABM, AI and the Path to Better Account Engagement

Today’s IT buyers often conduct their research independently and shortlist vendors without ever talking to a sales rep. As such, great content combined with an excellent distribution strategy can be your ticket to converting IT audiences into paying customers. Yet for many, this is easier said than done. This session will answer your most pressing questions around not only content creation and distribution, but also content’s direct impact on your bottom line.

Presenters:
• Jon Mycroft, VP, Integrated Publisher, EMEA (TechTarget)
• Louise Radoor Larsen, International Campaign Manager (Rubrik)
• Daisy Zhang, Global Digital Growth Manager (Radware)

Hacking Content: Strategies to Captivate in a Fast-Moving Tech Space

B2B go-to-market teams face many challenges: long buying cycles, many decision makers in the buying teams, opportunities that go dormant and fierce competition for a slice of a market. Yet, Cato Networks, a leading network security company, is growing remarkably despite all this. So how do they do it? 

Hear from Cato Network’s Director of Inbound Marketing, Daniel Bleichman, as he opens the playbook on how the team is able to leverage data-driven strategies in their integrated marketing campaigns to fuel growth. Daniel will share real-life examples and actionable insights on how you can utilize the power of intent data to achieve the maximum revenue potential across the buying cycle.

From Purchase Intent to Revenue: Cato Networks’ Winning Marketing Strategy

In today’s uncertain economic climate, B2B tech partner marketers are under more pressure than ever to hit aggressive partner pipeline targets while demonstrating ROI on partner marketing investments. Generating leads isn’t enough – effective follow-up is critical to engage top-of-funnel prospects and convert interest into opportunity. 

Throughout their careers, Angela Motiani (Head of Partner Demand Generation at Klaviyo), Kristina Onyon (Director of Partner Marketing at Cloudflare), and Rachna Gupta (VP of Marketing at HashiCorp) have faced this challenge head-on and cracked the code on what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to with- and through-partner demand generation.

Listen in as these partner marketing visionaries sit down with Michael Latchford (GM & VP, Strategic Alliances and Partner Marketing Services - TechTarget) to share:

• Tips for leveraging intent data and account-based strategies to reach the right audience 
• Insights into the most effective program types for generating top-of-funnel leads
• Proven approaches for driving lead follow-up and conversion into pipeline
• Advice on creating demand at scale with packaged through-partner campaigns
• Guidance on the essential KPIs to track to measure campaign effectiveness

Building Partner Pipeline: How to Drive Demand With & Through Partners

It’s undeniable that Sales Development plays a crucial role in any B2B tech organization’s go-to-market strategy. Yet, how many of us really stop to think about SDRs as a powerful engine for personalization? As competition for mindshare and wallets gets fiercer, it’s essential to empower SDRs with the insights and data to engage accounts meaningfully and deeply.

In this replay from the Intent Summit, TechTarget’s sales and sales enablement leaders will pull back the curtain on some of the secret sauce they use to enable arguably the best teams in their category. Thanks in large part to the amazing intent insights available, every 6 months, they’re taking young folks right out of college and helping their outreach be super-relevant to buyers in record time.

Building a great account-based marketing strategy requires a deep understanding of your best-fit accounts, close collaboration among your go-to-market teams, and data-driven insights to power the tactics behind your ABM playbook. Sounds quite simple, right? But many marketers – although quite familiar with ABM as a concept - find themselves at a crossroads when planning and executing their ABM strategy.

In this webinar, F5’s Digital & Marketing Operations Director (EMEA) Olga Royenko and TechTarget’s Senior Account Manager, Jess Flynn, will dig into the nitty-gritty of what it takes to run successful ABM campaigns for a B2B tech brand. They will discuss how an intent data-driven approach allows F5 to be laser-focused on the best-fit accounts while engaging buying teams with tailored content and relevant follow-up.

F5’s ABM Playbook: How Intent Data helps to Shape their Strategy

Competition in the IT landscape is fierce. Your buyers are likely being bombarded with marketing messages and sales outreach on a daily basis. To effectively engage your target audience and improve the impact of your demand generation efforts, you must shift from sporadic marketing campaigns to a cohesive, integrated marketing plan to engage buyers throughout their research journey.

In this webinar, TechTarget’s Senior Account Director, Alex Leadbeater, will sit down with Helen Gilbe, Marketing Director, Proofpoint to discuss how combining different marketing tactics and efforts into a cohesive, integrated marketing strategy helps to engage and influence buyers more effectively and efficiently.

Mind the Gaps: Driving More Revenue with  Integrated Marketing

Any marketer understands the value of content today – especially in a murky technical landscape and uncertain business environment. But simply creating content is not enough. Content serves as an extension of your brand and it’s often a prospect’s first entry point to understanding your product or solution. Marketers have to think strategically and long-term to fully utilize the power of content so it generates deep engagement and drives the most important business outcome – revenue.

In this session, Alexandra Kory, Teradata’s Director of Demand Generation and Brent Boswell, TechTarget’s SVP and Managing Director, International, will deep-dive into top challenges EMEA marketers face when creating and distributing content. Additionally, they will look into the importance of content for not only capturing in-market buyers but also engaging a wider group of decision-makers so your brand is top-of-mind to ensure the long-term success.

Great execution requires well-thought-through processes. And achieving great execution at scale requires that teams adhere to them. But stack complexity, systems choices and more can make things hard. So, while data and measurement should be a critical input for reaching high-performance, too often they become part of the problem.

In this replayed session from BrightTALK's Align Summit, TechTarget CMO, John Steinert, hosts a leader from the RevOps solution side and an operating guru from a super-scaled up tech vendor. They’ll share challenges they’ve experienced and methodologies they’ve developed to help teams achieve alignment for maximum business impact.

In this discussion starter, we'll introduce some topics in the field on how to embrace - and maybe question - Generative AI.

5 Pitfalls and 5 Wins in Using Generative AI in Your Marketing Tactics

Harnessing Content to Strengthen your Go-to-Market

Today’s tech B2B marketers and sellers have more data, channels and tools available at their fingertips than ever before. But GTM teams often still struggle to tie it all together to address their unique challenges and goals.

In this session, local marketing and sales leaders will share practical tips and insights on how they tap into the power of data, including real purchase intent data, to align GTM teams and create winning demand generation strategies that drive positive business outcomes.

Connecting the Dots: Using Data to Drive GTM Teams’ Impact

To succeed in B2B marketing today requires a unique blend of expertise – equal parts creative strategist and data scientist. As buyer preferences continue to evolve and digital competition skyrockets, the best go-to-market teams are tapping into data in new ways to inform their ABM strategies and execution.   

Join Jillian Coffin, TechTarget’s SVP, Customer Strategy & Enablement TechTarget, for fresh data and stories from the field on data-driven ABM. She’ll break down common data implementation and activation missteps, as well as debut new best practices for leveraging intent data sources to identify, target, and convert the best accounts in your TAM.

Supercharging ABM with the Right Data and Intelligence

In the current economic climate, it’s critical vendors have a clear go-to-market (GTM) strategy to support their channel partners and to help drive pipeline opportunities.

Join Simon Quicke (Editor-in-Chief of MicroScope), Vijay Mistry (Partner Business Development Specialist at ThousandEyes) and Neil Langridge (Marketing & Alliances Director at e92Plus) as they explore the current state of the channel market and share their perspectives on critical topics for channel marketing programs including the elements of successful lead generation, the effectiveness of digital advertising vs. face-to-face events, the value of attribution tracking and collaboration, and more.
