Digital marketing strategy

Targeted digital success!

Training
This training is held in German.
Digital marketing efforts are on the rise, but there’s often no strategy to tie them together into a revenue engine. Today, B2B buyers complete much of their purchasing process independently online—so traditional push marketing is no longer enough. In this hands-on training, you’ll develop a digital marketing strategy that generates leads and sets the stage for sales. You’ll learn to use AI strategically, work with buyer personas instead of target audiences, and generate traction through inbound marketing. Your personal strategy document will serve as a concrete roadmap for your company.

1. The Foundation of a Digital Marketing Strategy

  • Assessment, gap analysis, and goal setting.
  • Changes in the B2B purchasing process.
  • AI as a Strategic Lever in Marketing (Research, Analysis, GEO).
  • The three types of AI in marketing: analytical AI (patterns & prioritization), generative AI (content & personalization), and agent-based AI (process automation).
  • Determine the AI maturity level of your marketing—and define the next phase of expansion.

2. Target Customers & Psychology in Marketing

  • Buyer Persona vs. Target Audience: In-Depth Profiling.
  • Buying Center: Who Really Makes the Decisions?
  • Behavioral Preferences (INSIGHTS MDI®) in Marketing Communication.
  • Benefit Analysis and Value Proposition.
  • AI-Powered Persona Research and Validation: Refine assumptions using AI and test them against real customers.

3. Inbound Marketing & Lead Generation

  • From Push to Pull.
  • Identify relevant touchpoints along the customer journey.
  • SEO and GEO: Building Visibility in Search Engines and AI Systems.
  • AI for keyword, topic, and "watering hole" research: find out faster where your ideal customers are searching.
  • GEO in Depth: to be visible and recommended in AI-powered response systems (e.g., ChatGPT, Perplexity).

4. Content Marketing & Storytelling

  • Content Concepts. 
  • Content formats, content grids, and recycling.
  • AI-powered content creation—efficient, yet authentic.
  • Content Recycling and Personalization with AI: One Core Concept, Many Variations Tailored to Specific Audiences
  • Using Gated vs. Ungated Content Effectively.

5. Lead Nurturing 

  • Systematically Developing Leads: From Lead to MQL to SQL.
  • When is a lead truly ready for sales?
  • AI-Powered Lead Scoring: Prioritize leads based on purchase likelihood and intent signals.

6. Marketing Automation & Systems

  • Processes before tools.
  • Data-driven marketing and relevant KPIs (OKR, ROI).

7. The Revenue Team: Integrating Marketing and Sales

  • Shared Goals (Goal Force) and Service Level Agreements (SLA).
  • Clearly define the lead handoff process.
  • AI-powered lead summaries for a seamless handoff to the sales team.
