Trending Topics
B2B Trends in 2024
A big theme next year is proactivity. From prioritizing awareness and content, to being memorable and personalizing experiences, there are several methods you can prioritize to drive B2B sales next year. Value based bidding and moving away from hyper-targeting will allow brands to be more flexible too.
I Want You To Want Me
Our Founder and CEO, Joe Koufman, who’s worked alongside Brands and Agencies for 20+ years, concluded that the number one driving factor for Clients choosing an Agency is desire. In a pitch, Agencies need to show that they want the business more than anything, especially since that is one of the top attributes Brands value.
Retainer or Project Model?
As an Agency, it depends. We recommend a retainer if you enjoy working with a consistent staff and workload, and projects for more ad-hoc items.
New + Noteworthy
Microsoft Joins OpenAI Board
Now that Sam Altman has returned as OpenAI’s CEO, Microsoft has re-joined the board to reinvigorate a strong partnership. Already a major investor, this will allow Microsoft to have visibility into the company’s inner workings versus having none beforehand.
