In today’s landscape, B2B marketers are forced to reduce their MarTech stack and take into careful consideration the tools which they utilize. It’s critical that tech vendors use the tools in their stack to their maximum potential and integrate them to extract maximum value. Join us as we get an APAC perspective on best practices for integrating data sources and platforms, how the region can benefit from strong local data and how layering data sources can make for heightened marketing strategies.

Bringing Together an Integrated MarTech Stack for APAC

We hear so much about the evolution of technology buying teams. With the rise in on-demand, independent content, self-enabled journeys are now the norm. On top of that, disruptive technologies like cloud adoption, GenAI, cybersecurity defenses and automation mean marketers need material to appeal to the information needs of widespread roles across the buying team.  
 
In this webinar, we tackle today’s APAC technology purchasing committee. We’ll set the stage with some groundbreaking new research into the composition of the committee, buying needs specific to the region, and the state of vendor loyalty. You’ll then hear directly from technology buyers in Singapore and Australia about how their purchases are vetted and how you can be part of their buying journey.

A Deep Dive into the APAC Tech Purchasing Team

These days there's no shortage of suppliers promising to build your brand, generate pipeline and alert you to the accounts who are in market for your solutions. But not all providers are created equal. In this panel discussion, we’ll arm B2B tech marketing and sales professions with an understanding of the landscape of potential partners across Asia Pacific. 

By attending this interactive discussion, you’ll learn,
  - The tactics commonly taken to derive intent for your offerings
  - How different types of providers generate leads for you
  - Ways to create local content that meets the information needs of buyers in region

  - Jon Panker, Managing Director APAC, TechTarget (Sydney)

Making Sense of the APAC Media and Data Landscape

The best sales reps in B2B tech no longer have to take a shot in the dark. They know exactly who to engage, when to reach out and what to say. Their emails are being read and their opportunities are progressing at a far faster rate because of intent data. But just because reps have data at their fingertips doesn’t mean there aren’t good (and not so good) ways to use it. In this webinar, we’ll see how APAC’s strongest reps, from BDRs to account managers, are successfully leveraging data to identify their top prospects and personalize their pitches. In this engaging session run by B2B tech sales leaders, you’ll learn:
 
Practical tips for incorporating data into the sales process
Why it’s important for reps to understand the source of that data
How to easily integrate data into common CRMs and the platforms where reps spend their time
Tips for convincing skeptical reps of the value of good intent data

Rules of Engagement: Leveraging Intent to Drive to a Quicker Close

How well do today’s tech marketers know their prospects? In an engaging session designed to shed light on how today’s IT buyers gather information to support their purchases, we’ll share results from TechTarget’s latest Media Consumption report in APAC. The study not only outlines the IT buying process based on direct input from nearly 600 tech buyers, it also identifies disconnects between how buyers actually buy and what the 150 tech marketers who took the study believe their prospects are doing. 

Attendees of this can’t-miss webinar for tech marketing and sales will learn:
  - Content preferences for various stakeholders
  - How receptive buyers are to the return of face-to-face marketing activities

Who better to explain how technology buying is evolving than IT leaders themselves? TechTarget’s APAC executive editor Aaron Tan will be joined by a CIO panel for an engaging discussion on how budgets are being allocated and decisions are being made. First, we’ll share the latest IT Purchasing Priorities research and highlight the winners and losers when it comes to near-and longer-term technology spend. Then, we’ll talk about the evolving purchasing process — who’s involved, how are they collaborating and how they want to interact with technology brands like yours. This is a discussion that nobody involved in marketing or selling technology will want to miss.

CIO Panel: Staying Ahead of the Changing IT Purchasing Process

Is it really possible to get multiple elements of a marketing program to work together seamlessly? Can you commit to longer-term engagements despite being held accountable for quarterly results? Yes and yes! Despite some challenges, marketers are increasingly architecting always-on, integrated campaigns that are delivering remarkable ROI – not to mention alleviating some of the burden of 3-month planning cycles. We’ll share some common ingredients of these types of program and offer advice for measuring their impact.

Riding the Data Revolution: How to Harness the Power of Intent Data

Let’s face it. There’s nothing sellers like more than being in the same room with their prospects. But even with the return of physical events, most tech buyers are attending far fewer than they did before the pandemic. Today’s most successful salespeople rely on intent data to help identify their best prospects, gather the insights to effectively engage buyers and stay informed of key developments within their current customer base.  You’ll meet a local seller who’s letting data power all these activities and see how data can tangibly contribute to sales success.

Creating Engaging Content to Attract and Wow Your Prospects

Today’s empowered tech buyer is doing more before they ever engage with a sales rep. Exactly what are they doing? Which platforms are they visiting to collect pre-purchase research? With which types of content are they engaging? And how can you, as a technology marketer or seller, capture their attention before they are ready to talk to you. In this session, we’ll recap the APAC findings from TechTarget’s newly released Media Consumption survey and put those findings to the test by asking senior technology leaders in the region how the conclusions compare to their companies’ IT purchasing processes.

How B2B Technology Buyers Actually Buy: The Changing Purchasing Dynamic in APAC

Think about your buyers. Buying a solution for their company is a complicated, risky proposition. That’s the reality that you’re selling into – by helping buyers move through the research process, great content accelerates it and increases your chances of winning. So what exactly is that content? What type of content do buyers prefer? And how can your team do better to produce them?

They’ll dig into how B2B professionals consume content, the types of content they prefer and  proven tactics to drive increased demand, best practices for successful webinar, video, and virtual event programs.

Cut Through the Noise: Content Preferences in a Digital World

Intent Data in Action Across APAC: 5 Use Cases You Should Know

Lead engagement has always been difficult. In the post-Covid era it’s gotten even tougher. With the increase in online content and digital marketing, buyers are more self-enabled than ever before and often prefer researching tech purchases without direct contact with sellers. Prospects are often working remotely and can be difficult to reach. Yet many of our engagement strategies have been based on phone outreach, especially in some of the more traditional APAC markets. The most successful sales and marketing teams have pivoted. In this webinar, we’ll share what they’re doing. Hear from trailblazing APAC marketing and sales teams as they describe how they’re modernizing their lead follow up efforts.
 
Attendees will learn:
  - The appropriate way to treat differently sourced leads: intent leads, PDF downloads, webinar leads, inbound leads, etc.
  - How to embark on a multi-touch cadence to ensure you’re leveraging all possible avenues for engaging prospects
  - The best approach for handling leads who resist interacting with sales reps
  - How to effect positive change in lead follow-up practices despite some internal resistance to doing something different

Rules of Engagement: APAC Lead Engagement: Best Practices to Maximize Conversion

The average B2B buyer is consuming at least five pieces of content before talking to sales. They’re engaging with marketing content upwards of six months before making the purchase. Increasingly, prospects are doing much of the legwork to support a purchase before talking with your reps. How can marketing help progress opportunities to get buyers ready to talk to sellers?
 
It’s no secret that automation is enabling us to share content and frame how prospects approach an upcoming buy. The best technology organizations are using automated nurture and scoring as a real competitive advantage. In this session, we’ll discuss how to extract maximum value from your automation efforts to drive deeper engagement. In a lively presentation featuring APAC tech marketers and automated nurture experts, we’ll shed light on how tech companies in region are leveraging third-party intent to power the setup and scoring process. This is an ideal session for anyone who works in marketing, operations or sales at a B2B tech company.

Rules of Engagement: Driving Conversion Through Automation & Nurture Strategies

A thoughtful, engaging content portfolio will ensure you’re attracting and educating the right prospects and personas. But sourcing great content, creating it with local buyers in mind or selecting the right assets from a global collection can be daunting for APAC marketers. Typically, those in region have less control over content to power a go-to-market strategy and less budget to create their own material.


How can APAC marketers use content to build a foundation for marketing success? In this webinar we offer up best practices specific to the role of a regional or country marketer. Our panel of experts offers advice based on the performance of hundreds of APAC content marketing and digital engagement programs. Attendees to this session will get:

TechTarget IT Priorities Study – What IT Buyers Are Looking For in 2022

Buyers don't limit their research to quarterly cycles so why do tech marketers often focus on quarterly campaigns? If the average sales cycle for your solution is 6 months or more, shouldn’t you be in front of your prospects throughout the buyer’s journey?

This webinar will offer insights from APAC marketers who are doubling down on influencing prospects through a variety of integrated tactics so they drive their solution from early stage consideration to the shortlist and onto closed-won. Attendees will learn:
