How the rules of B2B marketing are changing
Richard Robinson reveals the three shifts for the 'New Digital Imperative for Marketing' leading brands and businesses to ensure a
successful outcome and how social media and the use of video are playing their parts in changing the rules of B2B engagement.
Robinson says business success is now centred on: understanding where your customers are;delivering messages to the right point of the buying cycle;changing strategies to incorporate digital values as a main focus. The first shift is 'research to real time' insight. The
second shift is 'creative to content'. The third and final shift is known as 'push and pull'. These three shifts will help deliver competitive advantage in the long term. B2B marketing is changing, and with this change, alterations must be made to stay in the game.
