Transformation, digital and otherwise, tops the agenda of most organizations. But how are business-to-business marketers dealing with it, and what are their key areas of focus now that we’re well into 2021?
Hard on the heels of the recent B2B WorldFest, The Drum held a roundtable discussion to answer these questions and to explore B2B marketing’s innovation in terms of strategy, creativity, and culture.
Taking part in the roundtable, moderated by Kenneth Hein, US editor of The Drum, were: Amie Stankiste, senior marketing director, S&P Global; Collette Philip, founder, Brand by Me; Theo Theodorou, advertising sales director, Microsoft; Connie Theien, senior vice president, payments industry relations, Federal Reserve System; Sam Poulter, head of corporate branding, AP Moller Maersk; and Tom Stein, chairman and chief client officer, Stein IAS.

The Drum rounds up the highlights from the B2B WorldFest
In partnership with Stein IAS, The Drum staged the inaugural B2B WorldFest on 18-19 November 2020, bringing together some of the brightest minds from the global B2B marketing industry for two days of macro thinking and some truly insightful sessions.
Topics discussed ranged from how the pandemic has triggered unprecedented digital acceleration and increased emphasis on organisational culture to the evolving data landscape and how the first generation of digital natives are now key decision-makers inside many B2B enterprises. The need to advance and nurture creativity was a core theme running through several sessions.
