The it’s a Sink not a Funnel and Owning Media over a Cocktail Episode

Share the goodness!

In this week’s episode, in the Marketing Studio Jeff Clark, our resident Rockstar CMO strategic advisor and former Research Director at SiriusDecisions/Forrester and our host Ian Truscott, discuss the ungated 2023 B2B Buyer Experience Report from 6Sense, guided by former guest Kerry Cunningham

The report is based on a survey of 900 B2B buyers, revealing some great insight into the B2B buying process, how late in the buying process buyers are before they contact suppliers, how they’ve defined their requirements and the shortlist. Ian and Jeff dig into the numbers and discuss what this means for B2B marketers. 

Then Ian joins Robert Rose, Chief Trouble Maker at The Content Advisory, in the Rockstar CMO virtual bar, and over a fancy cocktail this week, they discuss managing your owned media.

Enjoy!
