B2B marketing insights for
those targeting a niche

Insights, learnings and stories from the world of B2B marketing and communications, direct from Velo’s B2B agency team

B2B Branding

B2B marketers are often balancing immediate lead pressure with the longer job of building preference, memory and trust. Branding is not just about logos or tone of voice. It is about helping buyers recognise you, remember you and feel confident choosing you in a crowded, low-attention market.
