The top two social networks for B2B marketers, LinkedIn and Twitter, are different in several important ways. And marketers generally use them differently. LinkedIn is more formal, more professional, more selective, and more about thought leadership and insights. Twitter is less formal, more wide-open, more newsy, and generally noisier. Consequently, B2B marketers generally post more frequently on Twitter and share more third-party content.

Today, when both the stakes and the competition couldn’t be higher, a knowledgeable and personalized approach is the key to moving leads down the funnel. Data is the fuel that drives the B2B customer journey, but first-party data alone isn’t enough to provide the insights you’ll need to stand out

The proliferation of social media has made it easier than ever to check the pulse of your customers and create a community centered around your brand.

Some stock photos are bad. Some stock photos are good. Most are bland, by design. But there’s also a weird subsection of stock imagery that emphasizes stereotypes. Given that the U.S. Census Bureau shows America is becoming a more diverse nation, especially among people between 18-39 years old, why do images like this still exist for companies to pluck and put on their sites: We can all see the elephant in the room—the South Asian man showing his colleagues something on his laptop.

How do you feel about your content marketing strategy? Has it been the guiding force that you intended, helping you attract new audiences and converting them to leads? Content marketing isn’t a perfect science —nor is it a one-and-done kind of activity.

In the B2B marketing toolkit, white papers can be a powerful option for reaching decision-makers and experts, presenting them with interesting information that improves their perception of your organization's competence and thought leadership. That said, a poorly executed whitepaper will not only be unable to influence your desired audience but will also come with significant costs that other assets won't incur.

More so than most areas of marketing, video marketing takes a village. Before the first camera rolls, a strategy has to be agreed upon that aligns the purpose, scope, and budget. A manager has to corral the creative team. A writer has to craft the plot or copy. A set designer has to figure out the props. Remember, that’s before the shoot ever starts.
