Make Marketing Matter

Marketing has been undergoing a transformation. Success in marketing today has moved beyond aligning sales and marketing, or aligning various marketing groups. Today marketing is at the epicenter of the organization. Gone are the days in which innovative products and great people were sufficient for success; now you must transform your entire organization into a Demand Factory in which marketing is at the core. Simply aligning sales and marketing organizations is too narrow a vision—you must bring together people, products, sales and marketing for results. In fact, the Demand Factory extends beyond demand generation to include your installed customer base, with activities that inspire and nurture customer loyalty. In this paper we’ll take a look at the Demand Factory and the elements it takes to build and maintain one that won’t succumb to market instability or competitive pressures.

But personalization isn’t easy on social media, as its reach extends across the world: 95% of B2B marketers utilize social media content in some form, making it the most widely-used content type. With such a massive reach, marketers often result to generic assets to hopefully cover everyone’s interests, whether it’s an up-and-coming intern or a seasoned CMO.
