Every B2B marketer says they are customer centric.

It's in every mission statement, strategy deck, LinkedIn post and internal discussion we have - so it must be true? Well, the data says differently.

We had the opportunity to get a sneak preview of some incredible research by Stuart Harrison and the MOI Global team, on how customer centric marketers really are when creating messaging and content. We break down different trends by stage of the buyer journey and some huge variances in how customer centric some regions really are - and discuss what the implications are for effective B2B marketing.
