Meet The 2022 Class Of B2B Innovators

As 80% of buyers choose self-service channels and 55% indicate they rely on more content than they did a year ago, it takes the savviest marketing minds to create engaging strategies and campaigns that prioritize buyers’ litany of preferences.

The 6th Annual B2B Innovator Awards celebrate the most progressive marketing and sales practitioners pushing the envelope to effectively engage prospective customers and meet their buyers’ needs in the age of digital transformation. The Awards honor innovators who:

  • Successfully implemented of the innovative strategy or concept — especially related to performance marketing and driving revenue;
  • Creatively and effectively engaged prospective buyers and met buyers’ needs; and
