In the hyper-competitive tech business realm, brand exposure is the oxygen that fuels success for B2B marketers. Veterans in the field understand that foundational strategies for content marketing only get you so far, but truly breaking through the digital chaos to establish a dominant presence requires advanced methods.

HOW TO AMPLIFY YOUR BRAND EXPOSURE?

Here are 7 key tactics designed to maximize brand exposure and solidify your organization’s position as a thought leader in the ever-evolving tech business landscape:

1. DRIVE CONTENT MARKETING WITH DATA

With 71% of marketers claiming that content marketing boosts lead generation (Content Marketing Institute), leveraging data in your content marketing strategy can improve your reach. After all, 51% of content consumption is a result of organic search (Google), so data-driven marketing will ensure that your content gets in front of the right audience. You can also partner with industry networks and influencers to reach a wider audience by co-creating content together – from articles to social media posts.

DO:

Go beyond basic demographics.
Use intent data platforms to understand the needs, challenges, and buying journeys of your target accounts.
Create hyper-personalized content – like targeted white papers and interactive case studies – to address your target’s unique pain points while highlighting your solution’s ROI.

2. SEND YOUR EXPERTS TO SPEAK AT INDUSTRY EVENTS

In addition to showcasing your logo at industry events in front of a large crowd of executives, you can elevate your organization’s brand exposure by creating an immersive brand experience at events. The 2024 Edelman-LinkedIn B2B Thought Leadership Impact report found that only 15% of B2B decision-makers surveyed rated the quality of thought leadership within their industries as “very good or excellent”. This supports the fact that about 50% of B2B marketers say thought leadership efforts are under-resourced, which affects overall quality.

You can get ahead by filling this gap with excellent thought leaders from your own company. Since the world of B2B thrives on networking and relationship-building, industry networking events are the best places to solidify your brand’s position as a thought leader by tapping into your pool of experts as representatives and speakers.

DO:

Send representatives from your organization to speak at industry events to demonstrate your expertise and establish your brand as a trusted knowledge partner.
Host workshops and roundtable discussions in your target market to spark genuine conversation.

3. PARTNER WITH VENDORS TO ACCESS YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE

Collaboration is key in the world of B2B. Working with non-competitive businesses that share your target audience but offer complementary products and services is a great way to further boost your brand presence within your target market. Doing this allows you to tap into each other’s audience base and expertise, significantly expand your brand reach, and position yourself as a leader in the industry.

DO:

Partner on marketing initiatives and collaborative content pieces.
Co-host events with companies like Management Events that have access to an executive network to strengthen your brand as a thought leader in the industry.

4. FORGE STRATEGIC MEDIA PARTNERSHIPS

Beyond just press releases, you should cultivate long-term partnerships with tech industry media outlets. A co-creation strategy of this caliber, in conjunction with other content co-creation efforts, will go a long way to positioning you as a trusted source and garner higher editorial credibility for your brand. After all, buyers who trust a company are twice as likely to recommend them to others (Forbes). Improved brand credibility and trust will drive financial gains.

DO:

Collaborate with journalists on co-authored research reports and industry analysis pieces.
Find opportunities to create editorial interviews featuring your company’s top technical experts.

5. FOSTER NICHE ONLINE COMMUNITIES

Move beyond generic industry forums. Instead, join online networking communities and groups frequented by your target decision-makers. There, you can share insightful industry tips and insights, troubleshoot complex issues, and engage in high-level discussions that demonstrate your brand and team’s technical prowess. With 57% to 70% of B2B buyers already more than halfway through their buying research phase before contacting a salesperson (McKinsey), building trust early is key. Engaging in niche online communities is a great way to earn this trust.

DO:

Identify online communities and networks related to your industry that include your target market. Niche down to location-specific groups, if possible, to ensure you are engaging with the right people.
Assign a team member to continuously engage in these forums, sharing quotes, advice, and questions from your company’s thought leaders. Encourage your technical experts to join as well.

6. PERSONALIZE YOUR ACCOUNT-BASED MARKETING

According to Forrester, 56% of marketers say that personalized content is crucial to a successful ABM strategy. Take your ABM approach to the next level with dynamic content. Go beyond generic case studies and testimonials. Instead, set your brand apart from competitors by personalizing landing pages, content, and outreach based on the firmographic and technographic data of your target accounts.

DO:

Develop interactive dashboards or success story simulations tailored to the challenges and goals of each high-value account.
Use marketing automation and AI tools to help you streamline your personalization efforts.

7. BUILD INNOVATION PARTNERSHIPS

Strategic partnerships are not just about marketing reach – they can fuel groundbreaking innovation which in turn will advance your brand image as a leader in the industry. Whether it’s a cutting-edge tech startup or established industry players, find companies with complementary solutions that you can partner with for the long term. From that partnership, you can build products and services that meld the best of both companies, offering better solutions to your market and tagging your brand as a leader in innovation. This type of collaborative approach with other vendors will allow you to draw from an external pool of expertise, innovate unique solutions, and establish your brand as a frontrunner.

DO:

Identify companies that have solutions complementary to the solutions your brand offers. Create a partnership with the intention of it being a strategic, long-term business relationship that is mutually beneficial.
Collaborate on joint product development initiatives.
