Sure, it’s a problem, but your company is doing well. It’s not the biggest issue, right? Wrong.

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who didn’t have …. an unusual second quarter. At ZoomInfo, the story was no different. With Covid-19 hitting the US hard, we had to pivot in a lot of different ways. We adjusted goals. We reset expectations. We said goodbye to the office (for now). Oh yeah, and we IPOd.

B2B advertising has a reputation for being dull, but it doesn’t have to be – especially when you’re advertising on social media. The more relaxed nature of social media platforms gives B2B marketers a valuable opportunity to be more approachable and relatable.

If your unsubscribe rate is below average, which is 0.5% , you don’t need to worry.

Even as demand generation activity begins to pick up, most marketing budgets right now remain tight, and so B2B companies are looking for creative, low-cost ways to drive demand. One of the areas we recommend consistently to our clients is to do more with the corporate blog. Blogs are historically the province of the PR team, and so they’re not often looked at as a vehicle for driving leads, sales engagement, and revenue.

Call me a c**k-eyed optimist, but marketers may actually be getting better at buying software. Our research has long shown that the most satisfied buyers base their selection on features, not cost or ease of use. But feature lists alone are never enough: even if buyers had the knowledge and patience to precisely define their actual requirements, no set of checkboxes could capture the nuance of what it’s actually like to use a piece of software for a specific task.
