Conex: The Content Experience is one of my favorite events to attend to learn the latest in content marketing and experience best practices. The speakers and content are always top notch and I bring back so many great takeaways and action items to my marketing and editorial team.

The devil’s in the details — or in marketing’s case, the devil’s in the data. Almost every B2B marketer has a data problem, whether it’s getting the right data on target accounts ensuring data is accurate and up to date or aligning sales and marketing around the same data, the list is endless.

In truth, the buyer’s journey is becoming more complex with more people involved at every stage. According to SiriusDecisions research, half of B2B buying decisions today involve a group of people. And that percentage goes up the bigger and more complex the business.

B2B marketers don’t have it easy. From aligning with sales, mastering ABM, executing personalized campaigns and proving ROI, the list of tasks keeps growing, along with the number of martech tools to manage.

This year’s Campaign Optimization Series included nearly a dozen sessions jam packed into one week and filled with tactical takeaways that will help you improve your content strategies, up your direct mail initiatives and create high-converting demand experiences for months to come.
