target="_blank">B2B Marketing Benchmark</a> report, which is chock full of information you can use to inform your organization’s strategy and your own career journey. The research conducted by LinkedIn and Ipsos explored just about every facet of B2B marketing – where it stands, what’s working, what’s needed and where we’re headed. The full in-depth report runs nearly 100 pages long!<br> </p><p>If you’re looking for a “TL;DR” with some quick actionable takeaways, we’ve got you covered. Among the insights surfaced in the B2B Marketing Benchmark were four data-informed areas of opportunity for B2B teams and the leaders who build them.<br> </p><p>From technology and strategy to skill development and DEI, these are the standout priorities for B2B marketing organizations in the year ahead.<br> </p><h3><strong>1. Ensure technology usage guidelines are communicated broadly</strong></h3><p>Led by the rapid adoption of generative AI (GAI), technology is growing more central than ever to marketing strategies far and wide. Two in three B2B leaders surveyed in our report said they are currently using GAI, representing a 20% increase since 2023.<br> </p><p>Even though the shine and sparkle have worn off from this powerful technology somewhat, coming up on two years since the launch of ChatGPT, AI tools are still relatively unfamiliar to many practitioners – and knowledge gaps seem pervasive. <br> </p><p>Consider these findings:</p><ul><li>Just over 1 in 4 respondents said they have an extremely good understanding of how to use AI in marketing activities.</li><li>Only 6 in 10 say they have established guidelines for GAI use.</li><li>There's a divide between CMOs (57%), other C-Suite (65%), and Directors/Managers (48%) on affirming whether their organization provides GAI training opportunities.</li></ul> </div> </div> <div id class="component component-standaloneImage" data-component-type="standaloneImage"> <div class="standalone-image-component standalone-image-component--article-width"> <figure> <img class="standalone-image-component__image" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 767px) 767px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 1920px" data-delayed-url="https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D4D08AQGWqemcBw6SHw/croft-frontend-shrinkToFit1024/croft-frontend-shrinkToFit1024/0/1719343898014?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=355g9gUqLIi1tO15AaDIm6ocfJNHrLAsYSQlDBIpf7Q" alt="Infographic: What B2B marketers are doing today (GAI)"> <!----> </figure> </div> </div> <div id class="component component-richText" data-component-type="richText"> <div class="rich-text global-paragraph-style--reader"> <p><strong>What can you do?</strong><br> </p><p>If you’re in a position of leadership at your organization, it’s highly advisable to focus on creating clear expectations and consistent guidelines around the usage of AI. Help everyone recognize the potential pitfalls and downsides of using AI (lack of humanity, risk of plagiarism, and inaccurate information topped the list in our research), and how to avoid them.<br> </p><p>Empower people across your team to build skills and get the most out of GAI in their work.

Leverage video and visualizations to boost customer engagement</strong></h3><p>This probably doesn’t come as a major surprise to any modern digital marketer, but the B2B Marketing Benchmark underscored just how impactful visual content is for generating increased engagement, brand awareness and trust. More than 50% of respondents said this form of content – including videos and infographics – is the one they use most in their marketing efforts. Videos and visual content were also rated as most effective for meeting objectives.<br> </p><p>Video, in particular, is not going anywhere. Sixty-five percent of respondents said they plan to increase their use of video, more than any other content type. <br> </p><p><strong>What can you do?</strong><br> </p><p>Explore new visually-driven marketing channels and seek to innovate within existing mainstays such as social media, which was far-and-away the most-used channel among B2B leaders – now and going forward.
