The state of marketing content survey

August 10, 2011

At CopyPress, we felt it was important to enter this critical year for the Content Marketing channel with a fresh perspective on what marketers were looking at focusing on in 2013. We created a survey and unleashed it on a group of marketing profesionals and received 329 responses from amazing people. We tried to create a survey with a mix of questions that would give us insight into how general marketing decision makers, keepers of budget, would be approaching Content Marketing or even if they were this year. Some of the questions were very straightforward, such as the channels of focus in 2013, and some were more timely, such as questions around authorship.

For B2B sales and marketing teams, competitive analysis is a foundational process that reinforces and clarifies business cases or campaign roadmaps by identifying gaps and potential differentiators. A competitive analysis has become essential to developing and identifying a winning strategy for growth and success—essential when, on average, a business can have 25 direct competitors.

whitePaper | August 5, 2021

Most B2B marketers’ arsenals rely on third-party intent data, but the growing privacy restrictions affecting third-party cookies are forcing marketers to rethink the use of these popular tracking tools. Savvy marketers are recognizing the untapped potential of first-party intent data as a replacement for traditional tracking methods.
