Deep dives

Evolution of B2B Content Marketing

The landscape of B2B content marketing has significantly evolved over the past two decades, particularly influenced by the emergence of platforms like Marketo and HubSpot. Initially, marketers relied heavily on collecting email addresses and tracking user interactions to drive leads and sales. However, this approach has become outdated as consumer behavior has shifted, with audiences becoming increasingly hesitant to engage with gated content. The future of content marketing will lean towards more personalized and open access to educational materials, breaking away from traditional strategies that no longer resonate with buyers.
