Research: Online Presentations are a Top 10 Marketing Tactic
Boston, Massachusetts (PRWEB) October 02, 2013 -- Online presentations have taken their place among top content marketing tactics used by business-to-business marketers, according to just-released joint research from Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs. According to the study "B2B Content Marketing: 2014 Benchmarks, Budgets and Trends," 63% of North American companies are using online presentations as part of their marketing mix. That places online presentations ahead of webinars/webcasts, ebooks, podcasts, infographics, and 13 other tactics surveyed.
The highly-respected content marketing benchmarks survey, which included responses from 1,217 business-to-business marketers in North America, showed a continued increase in both the use and perceived effectiveness of content marketing. The survey rated social media as the top tactic, but also revealed marketers' concern about social media's effectiveness. Online presentations ranked just behind case studies, videos, white papers, and articles on other websites in terms of popularity among B2B marketers.
"The new capabilities of today’s cutting-edge online presentation platforms are clearly starting to turn marketers’ heads," noted Michael Kolowich, CEO of KnowledgeVision Systems, the leader in online presentation technology and tools. "In particular, the addition of video, interactivity, live web pages, and searchable transcripts has turned online presentations into a whole new medium. When you add the ability to track viewer interactions, measure engagement, and turn that data into actionable marketing intelligence, online presentations are a formidable weapon in the marketer’s arsenal."
