There needs to be a clear marketing strategy with alignment on priorities across the executive team. This often is easier said than done, especially in mature organizations with multiple lines of business. Alignment on the strategy helps guide resourcing both from a staff and program spend.

MarTech QnA with the Expert

Data is really the foundation of a sophisticated B2B marketing strategy. The problem for many B2B marketers is that their own data has gaps in it, and so they are hesitant to have a data-driven approach to ABM, preferring instead to lean into big content initiatives, broad campaigns, events and the like. –Rob Sanchez, CEO at MeritB2B
