Six marketing focus areas you'll want to budget for in 2014 | @HeinzMarketing | #TheMarketingAutomationAlert

Six marketing focus areas you'll want to budget for in 2014 | @HeinzMarketing | #TheMarketingAutomationAlert | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

Condensed...

From what we’re seeing deliver solid ROI for leading B2B marketing organizations today, as well as the focus areas we believe will continue to deliver high-leverage results in 2014, here are six strategies we recommend you consider for investment in your new budget:

1. Advocate marketing platform & resources
I’d encourage you to check out what Influitive is doing to create Advocate Hubs that are accelerating the mobilization of their happy customers, partners, employees and more.

2. Content strategy
Think carefully about the content you need in 2014, and budget the resources to create and capitalize on it.

3. Marketing automation support
People and content are sorely underfunded, and are the primary reasons why many marketing automation efforts are less than successful.

4. Influencer engagement
Most companies engage the press and analysts, but few go the extra mile to engage the bloggers, Twitter users and other “social” influencers that, together, may have even greater reach and sway over your target market.

5. Sales enablement tools
Forward-thinking sales reps are already doing this for themselves. They’re using tools such as OFunnel, Newsle and others to filter the noise and find for themselves buying signals from their existing networks. They’re using ToutApp to get real-time alerts when prospects engage with their follow-up emails.

6. Social lead generation
With social, the media is free. But it’s like the best library of buying signals in the world with all the books on the floor. Tools such as Socedo, SocialBro, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, GaggleAMP and Papershare can help you mine the social web for qualified leads at a fraction of the cost of other paid media.
