With the New Year comes a fresh perspective and new ideas. B2B marketers are ready to grab the bull—or market—by the horns and kick off 2010 with ideas that prove that budgets are being well spent. But there’s a different kind of thought process that needs to go into strategic planning and budget justification than there used to be.
Now’s the time to get your marketing team, your cross-functional teams and your customers engaged at every level. Register today for our February lunch panel, which includes three B2B Chief Marketing Officers from top Fortune 500 companies. Bring your toughest questions then get ready to learn. Attendees will discover:
- How to create a company culture that ensures employee get—and remain—engaged in their work, within the company and with customers
- Why marketing needs to “market” itself as thoroughly to internal audiences as external ones
- Ways to use social media to establish deep, lasting relationships with customers by gathering information about their research habits and buying decisions
Bonus! All attendees will receive a JP Morgan tote bag, and be entered into a drawing for a Motorola phone.
