- AMA: Can you explain what “Story Stacking” looks like in practice and how it differs from traditional marketing approaches?
Dave: As our communications landscape continues to evolve, and as people spend more time in digital ecosystems, the way we plan for marketing needs to adjust as well. Story Stacking takes an integrated approach to layering messages across the consumer or customer journey.
- AMA: What are some key performance indicators (KPIs) or metrics that businesses should track to assess the impact of their B2B marketing campaigns?
Dave: KPIs for B2B can be wide ranging but are all dictated by what problem are we solving with our Marketing activities. We are always looking to generate momentum so we need to ensure that our KPIs are address the problem we are trying to solve — from revenue generation to audience accumulation to shifting perceptions or engagement. Not every tactic can address every objective so therefore our KPIs been to be aligned with the objective we are trying to effect.
- AMA: Creating compelling, persuasive marketing messages that’ll captivate your precise audience can be tough. Are there any common missteps marketers take when crafting their messaging that we should steer clear of?
Dave: Plenty – a number of which we will discuss at the upcoming meeting. The main one is taking a brand-centric view rather than a target-centric view. This frames how one views everything from how you view the customer journey, to what your message is along the way. Most of the missteps occur when brands are focused on what they want the target to do rather than focused on role or value they provide in the life of the target.
- AMA: Can you give us a preview of the big takeaway people can expect if they attend the event?
Dave: The focus will be how to look at your communications plan in a target-centric manner that aligns your brand’s story.
