Beyond MQLs: Reframing success in B2B marketing
Introduction


This edition of Beyond MQLs focuses on practical implementation, exploring how marketing teams are developing new approaches to measurement, engagement and value creation.
Through in-depth interviews with marketing leaders across technology and professional services, we examine:

Marketing's expanding strategic role in business growth
Building trust through early-stage value delivery
Evolution of team structures and capabilities
New frameworks for measuring impact
Community and relationship building approaches
Each chapter draws on real experiences and practical insights from marketing leaders who are actively developing these areas. Their stories, through their interview write-ups, reveal both the challenges and opportunities in modern B2B marketing, offering valuable lessons for teams undertaking similar journeys.


The report also includes detailed survey results showing how marketing leaders are approaching key challenges, from measuring success to engaging buying groups. These findings are complemented by practical tips for marketing teams heading into 2025, providing guidance for implementing the approaches discussed in the interviews
