B2B Marketing in Technology
Technology marketers often operate in fast-moving, crowded markets where products evolve quickly, categories blur and claims from competing vendors can start to sound identical. The challenge is making complex solutions genuinely easy to understand, building trust with sharp and sceptical buyers across long sales cycles, and standing out without falling back on jargon, hype or feature lists that mean nothing to a CTO weighing a strategic decision. And doing all of that while the market itself, shaped by AI investment, product-led growth models, cloud, cybersecurity and shifting channel dynamics, keeps changing underneath you.
That means learning about product marketing and launch strategy, category creation and positioning, buyer education and content across the full funnel, product-led growth and how marketing supports adoption, expansion and retention when the product itself is the primary acquisition channel, AI feature marketing and how to communicate genuine capability without overpromising, helping businesses demonstrate return on AI investment through product enhancements that customers can actually feel, messaging for SaaS, cloud platforms, infrastructure, cybersecurity, managed IT services, InsurTech and EdTech, sales enablement for complex and partner-led sales, demand generation and pipeline growth, customer advocacy, and how to connect deep technical value to the business outcomes that actually move buying decisions forward.
Our insight articles explore the trends, pressures and opportunities shaping technology marketing, helping teams working across the full spectrum of B2B tech create clearer messaging, stronger campaigns, more confident product launches and go-to-market strategies, whether they are scaling through sales-led, product-led or hybrid growth models, that earn trust rather than just attention.

AI slurry all over LinkedIn? Humans make the best posts
It’s easy to spot them. Long, lifeless lists. Samey headlines. Vague advice, stuffed with hashtags. LinkedIn’s being flooded with what we can only describe as a tide of AI-generated crap – content that looks and sounds like it was poured from a machine, not crafted by a human. And while the algorithm might momentarily smile […]

How Tech Marketers should prepare for 2026
Most B2B tech marketers are optimising for the wrong outcome. They’re chasing reach, perfecting attribution models, and testing endless variations of the same campaign.

How easy is it to influence how you appear within AI search models, and how can you monitor it?
Google might still be the Goliath of search, clocking over 8.3 billion visits a month, while ChatGPT attracts a (comparatively modest) 1.8 billion+. But let’s be honest, what’s more revealing is the rate at which this gap is closing. The real picture is even closer when you add in Claude, Perplexity and other AI tools […]

Is there a place for characters in B2B marketing?
Not quite a mascot. Not quite a metaphor. But definitely memorable. When we created U.ME for McGraw-Hill — a visual anchor for the next generation of doctors stepping into the world of work — we didn’t realise we’d started something. Then we used the same idea again, in early creative thinking for Bolt EU’s B2B […]
