My objective
 Share my, mainly, B2C experiences and
career observations with B2B marketers
 Reflect on lessons learned
 Apply some of that to B2B world
 Compare the new digital marketing mix to
the older one
Why B2B need not be seen as
the poor relation of
marketing/advertising
B2B is just B2C with a twist
Buyers are people
too.
I am Mark Gorman
whether I am buying
Nike trainers or
legal
How Volvo made truck advertising
sexy.
And Ford.
The first principal of all
marketing; consumer or B2B.
You need to gather real
insights.
The insight. Drambuie only comes out at Christmas.
Sugar crust.
Tennents Gold Bier  Project
Stirling
 Tennents Lager losing share to much cooler
bottled imports
 If you cant beat them, join them
 Research showed young men drank the label
not the product  but didnt really like it
 So create a label with quality underpinning it
 Drawing on Tennents roots but adding a fresh
dimension - taste
 Best beer we ever made to Rheinheitsgebot
recipe
The insight. (Bottled) lager tastes disgusting.
Guys drink labels.
My all time favourite brand extension advertisement..
The internet has
turned what used to
be a controlled one
way message into real
time dialogue with
millions.
From this
What can B2B marketing learn from B2C?
To this
What can B2B marketing learn from B2C?
And this
What can B2B marketing learn from B2C?
The inexorable rise of
social media and the
role of content.
Trade magazines/websites
Some things never 界鞄温稼乙艶.
Focus on the core
problem your business
solves and put out lots
of content, and
enthusiasm and ideas
about how to solve that
problem.
What can B2B marketing learn from B2C?
A few
observations Ive
put into practice
over the years.
Think like
a
customer.
The consumer is
not an idiotshe is
your wife.
David Ogilvy (with

apologies for sexism)
Understand how and
why your audience
uses technology and
then start to align
your communications
efforts.
The insight? Apple users are creative.
They consider themselves to be different.
Thank you
