Conclusion
Today's marketing offers a wide spectrum of potential activities you can engage in, tools you can use, and tactics and processes you can apply. It is confusing not only for technical founders but for marketers as well. We observe campaigns, ads, and activities on the market that are not applicable for B2B clients. Sometimes, marketers attempt to duplicate overlooked B2C tactics into the B2B tech world. That is why we have created a workshop that guides confused business owners and marketers through B2B marketing in the IT business.
