Why do so many companies fall into the pitfall of starting to come up with a digital B2B marketing strategy without any previous analysis? Without knowing who your audience is, either as a type of company or exactly who are those key people you need to convince, you will not manage to do that. In this article we aim to provide you frameworks that can help tackle this challenge.
This guide will walk you through a proven, step‑by‑step process to sharpen strategy, launch high‑impact campaigns, and continuously improve results.
Before starting work with ads or content, you should audit your current digital presence: you have to identify what’s working well and what’s not.
Create a one source‑of‑truth document so the whole team sees the same baseline, you can have it at a designated place, or always sharing the most recent one with everyone on the team.
Even inside Hungary’s tech scene, not every prospect is equal. An ICP describes companies most likely to generate high lifetime value at low acquisition cost. You should define important factors, like industry, size, geography, etc.
Within that ICP there are personas who sign or influence the deal. They are the critical individuals you have to convince, for example:
Document each persona’s goals, pain points, buying triggers, and preferred content formats. A one‑page Persona Snapshot Card, with a quote, bullet points can help everyone to understand them and write a copy that speaks their language.
If you want to reach your potential customers even before they decide to search for vendors, you can influence their thinking. For this you can use inbound marketing for what keyword research can help bridge your message to their intent:
You can cluster keywords by these stages in a master sheet, or categorize them based on content topic in English and/or the language of your targeted customers
Turn insights into an actionable playbook and provide valuable content in each stage of the customer journey, as we have introduced this in our previous post here.
This integrated path ensures prospects never feel abandoned or oversold, and will be able to find you at the right time.
Search algorithms reward authority and AI assistants crave concise, answer‑ready snippets. In order to successfully win over both, you should keep a couple of things in mind.
You should introduce a simple KPI dashboard that keeps the team focused, and make them understand which metrics you should focus on. It is possible that this will differ monthly, however, it should act as a guideline for you to know what is the ultimate goal you are working for and it can ensure that your teams, whether that might only include Marketing or Sales too are aligned.
You can see an example here:
You should review these numbers weekly, focus on new strategies monthly and hold quarterly retrospectives. Double down on winning tactics and pivot away from dead weights that are not working out.
Before jumping into introducing or working out a fancy sounding new marketing strategy, do not forget to evaluate what you already have, and instead follow these steps:
If you continuously follow these steps you will reach success!
