B2B: Next Best Content example
Melinda Cormier, Sr. Director of Digital
Marketing & Brand Strategy, and the
Nuxeo team used and continues to use
Evergage to regularly test an algorithmic
recipe that recommends additional blog
posts, personalized at the one-to-one
level for each blog reader.
As a result, the team saw a 34%
lift in blog engagement (measured as
views of 2+ blog posts) and a 2.4%
decrease in bounce rate.

What are the gaps in your Martech toolset?
Promise: Looking forward to helping you audit and select the best tools to power your marketing activities and insight in future.
This is our challenge today / your challenge – over 5000 separate technologies, likely more next month in April update
Swap yours out.
Everyone talks about optimization, but when we researched last year we found that many aren’t optimizing, but kudos to those who are.
We will cover examples of tools to use for these 6 areas on right
Martech is needed to run and get insight across all of these lifecycle activities.
Explain any which may be unclear – ToFu, CRO Retarting
You may be missing some of these activities – this is a real example of a B2B video platform we consulted for.
Our audting wheel – complex, but only shows 150 tools in 30 categories with best value/most popular around the edge
Free tool, often not made available to marketers, we use it to grow our audience through organic search, show how pages are improving reach – like social on right.
We also use Buzzsumo to find content ideas and to benchmark against competitors
Pick out tools we’re about to cover, example categories
AB Testing effective, but can take a while to get to confidence level with low B2B conversion rates
Retail is most advanced, but all of these options are available to B2B
Personalisation tech like Evergage ultimately increases lead generation
Show of hands for categories
Compare to these – can ‘spy’ on competitors
John Lewis = 45 vs Asda = 3
Barclays 27 vs HSBC = 16
Not interesting to talk about, but errors need sorting if your serious about being data-driven
Stackies are a competition where companies share their Martech.
This is a nice visual, but needs more structure
This is a better structure for B2B – you will recognize many of these
We wanted to simplify further – here we have 7 essential categories of Martech and how they can support a business
This is how ours compares – try this after
Marketing automation is key, here is another example of automated real-time personalised messaging which works well for Smart Insights
Compare response rates to email marketing due to use context and personalisation
AI becomes important when you get the basic Marketing Automation and Personalization in place
A couple of examples of future Natural Language Generation.
Left = generates email subject lines for you. Right = writes copy for you!
Scott Brinker again has this framework for improving content marketing. Move away from downloadable B2B lead gen assets to interactive apps like thse we’ve built.
