Dear Marketer,

B2B marketing is reportedly getting simpler as it starts to mirror successful B2C marketing techniques, especially in the realm of social media. At the same time, there’s no denying that it faces added levels of complexity with new technology adoption by customers and a growing focus on marketing ROI.

With an expected industry growth rate of 12.9%, B2B marketers have their work cut out for them in the new year.
