Brand awareness is the first thing a company needs to build in order to garner trust and grow. With the vast number of brands in the B2B space continuing to grow year over year this task can seem quite daunting, especially for smaller businesses and start-ups who are trying to compete with longstanding well-known brands. With so many brands and so much potential revenue to be gained in the B2B space, it has become imperative to recognize which pieces of content are sparking the highest level of engagement and adjust campaigns accordingly to maximize their success and return on ad spend.

Your reputation matters most

According to a recent market report, the number one selling point that companies need to stand out in the B2B industry is a trusted reputation. This takes time to build since the B2B sales cycle is very long and complicated. Impulse buying is never an option in B2B, so brands need to build rapport with companies in their vertical markets with a refined advertising strategy.

Building brand awareness involves numerous touchpoints throughout the decision-making process. Studies have shown that completing between 8 and 18 touchpoints with their target audience helps companies properly align their strategy with buyers’ preferences. Every piece of content that the potential customer is exposed to subconsciously resonates with them and molds their perception of the brand, thus building trust in said brand name over time.

Build trust with your audience across a variety of channels

It’s paramount that a program’s content strategy is consistent across all environments and channels through which each campaign is launched. Whether the target prospect is viewing (or hearing) the content asset on their computer, cell phone, TV, radio, or any other device, the brand messaging must be clear and unwavering. When messaging is aligned, employing a variety of creative types and advertising strategies builds a cohesive, comprehensive brand image that increases awareness through each target customer’s preferred media channel.
