The 2023 State of Marketing to Engineers Research Report summarizes the survey results of more than 850 engineers and technical professionals from a variety of industries, including aerospace/defense, automotive, process technology, utilities, energy and natural resources, electronics, medical devices, and more.

Evolving Trends in Marketing to Technical Audiences
This year's survey contained a mix of questions around popular topics to monitor trends, along with fresh questions that took a deeper dive into buying behaviors.

A few key findings in the research report on in-person events, search, and industry experts include:

55% of engineers plan to attend in-person events this year at the same rate or more than they did pre-pandemic (see pages 27-28 for more about reasons for this change and how technical audiences prioritize events).
While searching online, 43% of engineers filter through at least 5 pages of search results to find the information they're looking for (see pages 8-9 for more about search and ad preferences).
84% of engineers turn to some sort of expert or pundit in the industry to stay up to date on trends, hear trusted opinions, or evaluate vendors or products (see page 21-24 for more detail and respondents' favorite influencers).
