Erik: I talked about trends regarding ecommerce and new media for B2B at a conference for an user group association of a leading Enterprise Resource Planning system in 2017. I mentioned Caterpillar as a good business case on how to use modern marketing methods.

Hi Erik,

Social media marketing is a thing but it's not easy now. Everyone is running after stats.

Not easy in the slightest, Ravi!

Saturation, noise and ad spend — Perhaps a change is on the horizon, in some form or another? :)))

For now, the use of multiple influencers is one of the best bets for content penetration / ROI.

Erik!

Thanks for sharing this one with the BizSugar community! :D

Fascinating topics to consider — I especially found the new 'generation' research most eye-opening (and it should be for any B2B brand).

Cheers again!

Sam :)))
