Summary:
B2B marketers embraced Account-Based Marketing, but how do you get there? It won t be easy if you have the wrong strategy. Integrate thinks it can solve this, with a solution built on a buyer-driven marketing strategy.
We can look to COVID-19 as the accelerant needed to adapt B2B marketing, but it is only that, an accelerant. Buyers were changing their habits long before COVID (how they consume content, research and make decisions, engage with vendors), and they will continue on that path. We are now in a buyer s world, and we need a buyer-driven strategy. But it s a significant change for organizations that typically follow a marketing-driven or sales-driven strategy. Integrate believes they have the technology to help make that change.

Qualtrics turns in a strong set of numbers as CEO Zig Serafin looks ahead to a year in which organizations increasingly see the potential of Experience Management systems.

A bold post-pandemic vision perhaps, articulated by Zig Serafin, CEO of Qualtrics, the Experience Management specialist that attracted so much buzz back in January with an IPO that raised $1.55 billion. It was the climax of a floatation journey that began back in 2018, with plans to go public at that point put on hold when the firm was acquired by SAP. Now it’s partially spun-off, with SAP as its largest shareholder, and just handed in its first set of numbers as a publicly-quoted firm.
