Which B2B Marketing Campaigns Will Perform Best in 2025?
This is a question our team hears a lot. It isn’t just clients who want to know what sort of B2B marketing campaigns they should pursue, either – friends, family, and acquaintances sometimes ask as well.
There are a lot of ways to answer that question, and I’m going to give you the best one at the end of this post. But first, spend a couple of minutes with me reverse-engineering the solution. That way you won’t just understand it when you read it, but will be ready to take action and grow your company starting today
A Quick Note on B2B Marketing Campaigns
I’m not terribly excited about using the word “campaign” in the context of what we do because so many people would define it differently. For the context of this article, though, I’m referring to any sustained activity or effort that is meant to move your business forward.
So if you’re committed to getting more traffic from Google, then your campaign might revolve around search engine optimization. If you want more LinkedIn followers, then a social media marketing campaign could be called for.
Don’t get too hung up on the word. I’m just using it as an identifier for anything that is meant to drive results. That brings us back to the question at hand. Which campaign should you be taking action on? Choosing begins with an all-important question…
What Does Your Business Need Most in the Next Few Months?
Note that we are asking you to think about tactics, or even metrics. Instead, I want you to really consider what it would take to scale your business up. What would you have to have happen? Or, to think about it differently, where are all the bottlenecks in your current business plan?
Usually, these come down to a lack of traffic to your website, not enough leads in your pipeline, or a failure to get people excited about your products and services.
Until you can identify the sort of outcomes you are trying to create, there isn’t much point in thinking about B2B marketing campaigns. So take a moment now to really dig into this question. Make a note if something inspiring or profound comes to you.
Either way, don’t move on until you have some sense of what your business needs most from the time and money you are going to put into marketing.
What Could Be Done to Create That Result Quickly?
Thinking about quick results is often a bad idea in our industry. And yet, the converse is also true: business owners and executives can hesitate to take action because they are thinking about time horizons that are too far into the future. When it feels like you always have time to plan for and implement a social media strategy, as an example, it can be hard to get motivated to do anything today.
In my company, we follow a philosophy called agile marketing. In case you aren’t familiar, it means we operate on 90-day “sprints” that focus on getting a certain number of set activities done.
For instance, we might spend 90 days fixing a client’s digital ad campaigns. Or, we could use that time to sort out their branding. Maybe we put together some tradeshow materials so they can make a better impression live. You get the idea.
By breaking the year into quarters, we make it so that we can always stay focused on a single set of results while simultaneously being nimble and responsive. There are certainly longer-term goals to be achieved, but we don’t let them become abstract or far off. Neither do we commit to plans that might change as the market reacts or the client’s business evolves.
So, Which Campaigns Should You Pursue in 2025 or Beyond?
At this point in the post, you’ve probably beat me to the punch line. Finding the right digital marketing campaign for your business is all about working backward from the result. What makes sense for one business won’t work for another and vice versa. Sadly, I can’t give you a one-size-fits-all solution that’s guaranteed to grow your company this year, next year, or any year after that.
What I will do before you go, however, is outline a handful of campaigns that resemble the ones we have run for our clients recently. That way you can use them as inspiration while you brainstorm your own ideas.
Here are just some of the things we’ve worked on in the past six months or so:
- We helped several clients put together organic search engine optimization campaigns to draw in targeted visitors for years to come.
- We also assisted B2B marketers with digital ads. These were put into place quickly and helped identify high-priority prospects that could convert quickly and affordably.
- We produced videos that could be distributed through company websites, YouTube, and even social channels like LinkedIn.
- We helped businesses launch and promote events. Some of these were informational, others involved sales presentations.
- We used our writing and design skills to help our clients become thought leaders with ebooks, white papers, blog posts, printed books, and more.
- We helped launch and optimize several B2B websites with the perfect mixture of design, copywriting, and development to build credibility.
- We ran social campaigns on LinkedIn and other channels to help with recruiting, customer acquisition, and other goals.
- We worked with clients to better understand their web analytics and optimize conversion rates through their lead generation funnels.
You might need to start with a campaign that resembles one of these, or do something completely different. The real key is to identify what you need in your business and start taking action today.
