NetLine Corporation Research Identifies Important B2B Content Marketing Strategy Opportunities

NetLine's analysis of the report identifies three important recommendations for key stages of content-based lead generation, from content strategy to targeting strategy to prospect nurturing strategies, to increase pipeline development and revenue-driving opportunities. Robert Alvin, CEO and Founder of NetLine Corporation, explains the importance of a 3-tiered approach, "Marketers are often focused on one specific stage within the greater marketing-to-sales funnel, leaving them uneducated on opportunities for optimization. We want to help marketers see the bigger picture by providing the data necessary to make smarter decisions to increase revenue potential and campaign ROI."

An important focus of the research is the delta between the active marketing personas researching marketing-related topics and the in-demand marketing personas that organizations are trying to acquire. In the past year, 65% of lead generation campaigns excluded 17% of the active marketing audience, comprised of influencers outside the C-suite. NetLine recommends that B2B marketers aim to build deeper influence within organizations by expanding targeting outside senior leadership. Targeting these professionals will build greater credibility throughout the buying committee. 

In reflection of the report, Robert Rose, Chief Strategy Advisor of Content Marketing Institute, encouraged content marketing and demand generation teams to account for the influencers, "Each and every stage of [the buyer's] journey now has unique content consumption behaviors and personas involved. Your strategy must account for the varying levels of influencers within the buying committee that are now more commonly outside the C-suite."

The NetLine Corporation 2017 research series has covered Information Technology, Human Resources, and Marketing industries, as well as an overall industry analysis.
