Are You Happy with the Results of Your Marketing?
As you think about strategic marketing planning and budgeting for the coming year, I have three questions for you:
- Are you happy with the results of your marketing efforts this year and how they have fueled your new customer acquisition and revenue growth this year?
- Are you confident in your ability to execute your marketing plan for next year with your current internal and external resources?
- Are you on top of digital and content marketing best practices?
If not, we should talk.

Many things go into the process of building a successful brand.
Some companies spend millions of dollars to find their “brand,” but it takes more than money to get it right. It’s a process that requires a well-honed brand story process and an experienced partner that can communicate the value your brand has for your target markets.
At Innovaxis, we have 15 years of experience helping B2B clients build their brand messaging with customized digital marketing strategies that also build sustainable, double-digit growth.
That takes more than a color scheme and a new logo. Our marketing program works to align B2B sales and marketing efforts around a central brand story that will resonate with target markets,

Learn how to develop a website that drives sustainable, double-digit growth instead of a sharply designed digital brochure
A new website is an exciting step for any business, whether it’s a build-from-scratch project or more of a renovation.
Why then are so many marketing leaders and business owners unhappy with their website? Why do so many well-meaning website developers and marketing agencies go wrong?
Based on our experience, which includes creating our first web page in 1995, most website projects fail because they are done backwards: they start as creative endeavors instead of being a strategic demand generation engine and end up serving as a digital brochure that doesn’t increase demand or generate leads.

With a new year around the corner, you may be tempted to experiment with marketing strategies you’ve read about online or cherry-pick some new marketing technology in an effort to start the year off right.
Every year, a flood of shiny new marketing products, strategies and services promising exponential growth hits the market. But without a trusted advisor or thoughtful strategy, it’s hard to know which way to go.
If you’ve decided to look for a B2B marketing partner to help you navigate this process, the challenge can seem just as daunting as going it alone. Should you turn to a web designer for a redesign? Hire a freelance writer to helm your blog?

With 15 years of experience providing B2B marketing and consulting services, we are not timid in warning B2B clients of the risks of using a pay-per-click (PPC) agency to run ads on Google, Bing, LinkedIn Campaigns, and others.
While clients are often tempted – and sometimes will give them a try – at best, these campaigns generate a few leads but do not pay for themselves. At worst, they waste time and money in the process of producing no results at all.
Why do PPC agencies fail so often at B2B pay-per-click campaigns? Below are the top 10 reasons.
Lack of Strategy
Most PPC agencies focus on B2C clients.

Generate Breakthrough B2B Marketing Results with a Customized & Holistic Program
If your B2B marketing efforts generate more costs than leads, you’re not alone. Too many B2B owners, marketing directors and sales executives fall victim to a marketing strategy that isn’t crafted around the different needs of B2B enterprises. They spend a lot of money for generic programs or splashy products, and end up frustrated when the efforts don’t generate qualified leads or profitable growth.
That is why we offer clients a custom and holistic B2B-focused marketing program designed to produce measurable results and profitable growth, with strategies built around the needs and goals of your business.
Causes of Ineffective Marketing
Failure can take a variety of paths:
- Buying the empty promises of marketing agencies that lack expertise and experience around the unique requirements of B2B marketing efforts
- Buying shiny objects like marketing automation and other software that require a lot of time,

With 25 years in B2B marketing—from market research to product management to agency consulting—I have found that marketing firms have a 3x faster and bigger impact than a full-time hire, often at a lower cost – if you find the right agency, and these two approaches are not mutually exclusive.
