B2B Buying Trends & How to Advise Advertisers in 2024
What you don't know about the future of how B2B buys may end up costing you… a lot
Media organizations have always enjoyed their role at the center of the business to business buying process. As the key influencer connecting buyers and sellers, the media enterprise plays a critical role in how B2Bbrands build awareness, drive brand consideration, and ultimately drive buyers closer to the transaction.
The B2B buying process is shifting dramatically and brands are becoming less and less influential. This is great for the B2B media industry, but only if you are aware of the changing dynamics of which channels make sense, what buyers are looking for, and how generational differences affect the buying process.
If you sell access to your audiences in the B2B buying journey (and we know you do) you’ll get a ton of valuable insights that can help you retain and grow your solutions and revenue.
We will dig into key research and pull insights about:
- How the “Buyer Collective” operates in the B2B buying process and how your solutions can cater to them and increase revenue.
- Learn about “Jobs to be Done” and how doing them adds revenue.
- Deeply understand the role of the Media Operator in the buyer process and see evidence to back up how critically important you are to the media mix.
- How does Gen Z in the Buyer Seat affect the way you package and price?
