Many find B2B marketing beneficial in the long run for two reasons.

  1. Bigger Profits
  2. Chance to stand out as an industry leader.

But How?

A B2C marketing funnel starts with brand strategizing around viral & enjoyable content that offers easy and quick solutions. 

These campaigns are focused on reaching a larger audience with a product that is affordable.

If I talk about a strategic marketing play in the B2C space, a good example would be Red Bull, where they placed empty Red Bull cans near DJ consoles, bars, tables, and in bins of specific clubs that catered to their targeted demographic.

This one strategic move helped Red Bull change their image from being just a sports drink.

However, B2B marketing funnels focus on fostering relationships with their audience by empathizing with their pain points and offering a solution through engaging content (audio, video, blogs, infographics, and events.) to gain trust with their company, product, and solution.
