With B2B continuing to live and thrive in the digital space, marketers are hunting for new ways to engage their virtual buyers and audiences. As a result, marketers are seriously considering new tools and tactics to revamp their campaigns and reach their target buyers in an engaging and satisfying manner.
The 2021 Campaign Optimization Series, hosted by Demand Gen Report, will put a spotlight on how modern marketers are renewing their focus on high-touch engagement strategies that reach buyers at their key accounts. It will also explore new ways to blend those strategies with digital initiatives to help organizations remain relevant in the digital age.
This year’s virtual event will feature multiple sessions from B2B vendors, practitioners, influencers and experts that explore how marketers have successfully navigated digital marketing, and where they plan to take their strategies going forward into 2021. Some of the topics they will explore during the #COSeries include ABM, experience-driven marketing, global marketing, martech, data-driven strategies and more!
Account-Based Experiences Take Center Stage
One session from Demandbase titled, “Evolve your B2B Go-to-Market Strategy with Account-Based Experience (ABX),” will explore marketing leaders’ new focus on creating ABM experiences designed for specific accounts at every stage of the buyer’s journey.
