January 13, 2023

Enterprise B2B Marketing Priorities
With an uncertain economy, marketers at B2B enterprises are scrutinizing their 2023 strategy to get as much mileage out of their approach as possible. In our recent survey with Ascend2, we found that data is a major focus as is an investment in technology.

We found that 78% of large B2B marketing organizations (those with more than 1000 employees) experienced growth of 10% or more in 2022. After two years of marketing during a pandemic, many B2B brands found their footing in 2022 with a heavier reliance on digital channels and renewed spending from clients ready to move forward.
