Delivering high-impact digital ads can certainly be a challenge in the B2B
industry. The days of relying on third party cookies have been replaced with investing in first-
party data, utilising contextual targeting and creating data ecosystems - but not everyone
has gotten on board.
 
In this webinar in association with Funnel Fuel, we will be delving into some top tips for
brands who are looking to build a first-party data strategy to deliver their digital campaigns.
We also address how to ensure your ads appear in the right context to the right audience at
the right time, as well as the key to delivering your ads in real-time.

Top 5 Tips For Executing Your Digital Advertising Campaign

What does GTM (go-to-market) mean? We talk about it all the time but are we
defining and applying it in the most strategic way? And does it lie with marketing, product or
sales? But most importantly - how can it be used to generate commercial success?

These are all questions that will be answered in an exciting panel discussion.In this B2B
Marketing webinar in association with The Think Tank, we are hosting a panel with three key
marketing leaders including (representative from TTT). Off the back of winning ‘UK B2B
agency of the year’ at our B2B Marketing Awards, The Think Tank will share their definition
of a go-to-market strategy, the steps to executing it effectively, as well as the commercial
benefits from introducing this strategy into the business.

Why Defining and Activating Your Go-to-Market Strategy Is a Must in 2025

In today’s complex B2B landscape, purchasing decisions aren’t made by just one person—they involve buying groups of key stakeholders, each with unique priorities and influence. Yet many organizations still rely on lead-centric (MQL) models that struggle to identify the most promising opportunities quickly and effectively. In fact, Forrester reports that a lead-centric process has a 99% failure rate from inquiry to close.

In this insightful webinar and panel discussion with LeanData, we’ll explore why buying groups are the true drivers of revenue growth—and how shifting your strategy can unlock better pipeline efficiency and sales alignment.

We’ll dive into practical strategies for:

Transitioning from lead-based models to buying group engagement
Overcoming challenges like sales buy-in, stakeholder identification, and tracking multi-threaded engagement
Understanding the tech side: Does your CRM support buying group data, and how can you optimize it?

Plus, if your company is entrenched in an MQL structure, we’ll be delving into some top tips for organizations that might be resistant to change.

Speakers include:
- Martin Haasenstrach, Global Channel Marketing, Siemens
- Lauren Daley, Director, Marketing Operations, Palo Alto Networks

Beyond MQLs: Unlocking Revenue Growth by Embracing Buying Groups

How To Select Your Next Digital Experience Platform

In August 2023, we officially launched the Community Index – the real-time dashboard of B2B marketing metrics, specifically made for the members of the global community for B2B marketers, Propolis. Since August, we’ve been collecting data on B2B marketing budgets, spend, return, customer acquisition, retention, team structures, and more. The result? A comprehensive picture of how much money B2B marketing teams have to work with, how they’re using it, and the impact they’re driving.

So, nearly a year on, what have we learned? Are budgets increasing or decreasing? Are B2B marketers spending more or less on brand? Is ABM on the rise, or on the decline? Is customer acquisition getting easier or harder?

Well, in this webinar, Kavita Singh, Senior Content Editor, will be joined by Nimmi Bhalla, the Director of Business Marketing at Virgin Media O2 Business, and David Keene, the Chief Marketing Officer at Wipro to discuss:

B2B Marketing will be launching its 2024 Global Agencies Benchmarking Report, and to kick things off, Gravity Global and B2B Marketing will be discussing some global trends we’re currently seeing in the marketplace.

Whether you work for a client or an agency, winning a B2B Marketing Award can be pivotal moment in your career, unlocking peer recognition and validating your achievements. With around 500 entries a year, the B2B Marketing Awards are the gold standard for excellence in B2B… but that also makes them hard to win.
