Icon has a new marketing whitepaper now available for free download – Strategies for more successful B2B Marketing.

B2B marketing is a specialist area of marketing that concentrates around the delivery of products and services to business.Strategies More Succesful B2B Marketing

Generally, the products and services are very technical in nature and require a different marketing strategy and implementation process to see sustainable sales growth and brand building.
The role of marketing in B2B should be focused on two core goals:

  • Feeding the Sales Funnel
  • Establishing and maintaining personal relationships  

B2B marketing should be a major part of all stages of the sales process, including:

  • Engaging the market using digital channels such as email marketing, web marketing, and social media marketing.
  • Identifying prospects via market segmentation.
  • Providing salespeople with the tools they need to demonstrate the value of the product or service.
  • Tracking each marketing activity at every point in the sales process to understand which marketing activities are actually driving revenue.

Marketing and Sales representatives want the same thing - but go about it in different ways. By focusing on your sales funnel, marketers and sales teams can be more effective.

What is paid, earned, shared and owned media?

By Erica Williams • February 8, 2023
Media is complex. Much more than it used to be. Since the dawn of the internet and rise of social media, the number of media options has exploded. For a marketing manager, they are like pieces of a puzzle, interconnecting and working together. So, how does a marketing manager make the pieces form a nice, big, beautiful picture, to successfully stand out not only amongst the competition but above the vast array of media noise? American digital marketing expert, Gini Dietrich, identified four types of media: Paid, Earned, Shared and Owned. She called it the PESO model . Here we look at the four types of media. We describe and analyse each one and discuss how they all fit together.

Icon celebrates 20 years in business

By Joe Papadatos • February 5, 2023
When we launched in 2003, the trend in agencies was to provide a specialist service, like creative or media buying. But we saw the opportunity to offer full-service marketing to our clients, taking the pain away from managing multiple agencies with multiple processes. We’ve chosen to continue to base ourselves in the Macarthur region, moving to Campbelltown in our current office nearly six years ago.  This has enabled us to build strong working relationships with many companies in our region including property developers, builders, manufacturers, local Councils, venues, and many more. We’ve also worked with loads of companies outside the region which is becoming so much easier with the aid of technology. We’re not just suppliers, but genuine business partners. I’d like to thank the many clients I’ve worked alongside in the past 20 years and look forward to continuing many of those relationships.
