As a B2B marketer in 2019, what are the tactics you need to know to thrive and succeed for your business and career?
Do you struggle with limited resources, getting new ideas across the line with stakeholders, or executing to bring a new strategy to life? With a constantly changing world, we can no longer rely on repeating the same initiatives year-on-year to build a brand and generate business opportunities. But with so many different growth strategies, platforms to get your head around and levers to pull, it’s easy to become dazed and confused.
The aim of this Q&A panel session is to learn lessons from startups and side hustlers. What are the innovative hacks they use to make the most of their (limited) resources, and how can these tactics be applied in larger corporate environments? This event will allow you to experience the entrepreneurial flair and stories behind 3 game changing startups. Find out how they have experienced success (and setbacks) and their advice on how B2B organisations can find inspiration and learn from the new generation of businesses.
