MARKETING OUTSOURCING CONSIDERATIONS FOR B2B COMPANIES IN THE DIGITAL AGE

Much depends on your company’s size, budgets and goals but this can be a good starting point for what to consider.

These are just a few suggestions based on common scope of work for B2Bs that are saying to themselves:

“I need to figure out or refresh our brand strategy, unique value proposition, and message.”

“I need to get our company into the 21st century with the latest B2B best practices such as content marketing, social selling, lead nurturing, and marketing automation.”

“ I need to rethink my marketing organizational structure through the lens of data, technology and marketing operations (vs. my current lens of traditional media, tradeshows, email and public relations).”

“ I need to align our marketing and sales functions toward a common goal.”
