There's no shortage of social channels to consider, but they don't all present the best fit for B2B marketers. The key, according to this week's Marketing Smarts podcast guests, is to put strategy before tactics and channels. Only then can you dive into the many paid and free options available to brands on each social network.
In this episode of Marketing Smarts, I talk with Mike Allton, Jenn Herman, Stephanie Liu, and Amanda Robinson, co-authors of the Ultimate Guide to Social Media Marketing.
According to the book, 94% of B2B marketers are using LinkedIn to distribute content, but they're not necessarily making the best use of the platform. And there are plenty of other channels and tactics for marketers to explore!
In this conversation, we take a deep dive into social media for B2B marketers and get into which tactics can help further your marketing goals. We also talk about what valuable opportunities B2B marketers are missing out on right now.
