B2B Trends for the Contrarian Marketer

We believe that there’s never an advantage to following the crowd — especially in marketing, when the crowd is usually wrong. In marketing, it is advantageous to be contrarian, to deviate from the beaten path and stand out from competitors. From investing in your share of voice to balancing brand and activation, Jon will present research that analyses the patterns in B2B marketing to determine which marketing strategies lead to the most growth.

‘I really think that the team at B2B Institute at LinkedIn are doing the best work on brand building anywhere in the world right now’
Mark Ritson

What will participants learn/achieve?

Marketers always want to know: “what will change?”
But, Jeff Bezos says a more important question is: “what won’t change?”
Why does what won’t change matter more?
Because as Bezos  advises, you can build a business on ideas that won’t change.
So for our 2020 Trends, we’ve identified three macro-trends that won’t change and that you can count on for the next decade:
  • The War On Brand
  • The Rise Of Blockbuster Marketing
  • The Death Of Hyper-targeting
Join us as we discuss each trend and show you how to apply these timeless trends to beat your competition.
