The State Of Integrated Marketing In B2B

Integrated marketing has rapidly become an essential strategy for B2B marketers. By implementing an orchestrated series of tactics across a broad range of channels, an integrated marketing campaign can be one of the most effective ways to engage prospects and move them along their purchase journey.

A new study from Demand Gen Report and True Influence found that while the majority of marketers see the benefits of integrated marketing and are embracing the strategy, many challenges to successful execution remain. The State of Integrated Marketing in B2B reveals that a sizable majority of B2B companies are currently using integrated marketing, and those who currently don't use it plan to within the next 12 months.
