‘Focused on completely the wrong thing’: B2B marketing set for a ‘renaissance’ if marketers, sales teams decouple from individual lead ‘obsession’ to the buyer groups who influence a company purchase
In most B2B businesses lead generation, or individual qualified “lead gen” more accurately, is at the core of business marketing – certainly for the tech sector. The merits of focusing on groups of buyers influential in a large corporate purchase over an individual executive is not new, but what is has a veteran B2B marketing analyst warning that almost every sector in B2B is still “focused on completely the wrong thing”. And the required shift that Kerry Cunningham, a former Forrester Principal Analyst now at US-based 6Sense, says is needed from B2B marketers has the backing of the Global Head of Marketing at engineering giant ABB Process Industries, Jo Woo, who agrees “traditional lead metrics are outdated”. B2B marketers must ditch their “obsession with counting leads”, she says, just as sales teams too must rethink their approach.

Lego’s in-house model clicks into place: Nicole Taylor on creative firepower, expanding remits, paid-owned shift, when to say no – and bringing in big hitting agencies on her terms
She’s retuned the language of the in-house agency team from campaigns to content supply, embraced measurement and utilisation, brought in new senior creative talent, killed off a bunch of meetings and stopped the automatic response to ticking every box in a brief.
