Business-to-business (B2B) thought leadership is still impactful, but marketers have plenty of opportunities: Tone and targeting are just two of many opportunities for marketers who employ this type of content.

Amazon Business, which has grown rapidly since its launch in 2015, will increase its US product sales by 43.5% year over year to reach $27.59 billion in 2021.

B2B tech products and services, the largest sector of B2B advertising, saw a massive boost in the US as the pandemic increased demand across the tech industry.

US B2B payments declined slightly faster than expected in 2020 at -7.1% as opposed to -4.9% for an actual sales value of $25.539 trillion in 2020. By year end 2021, those sales will grow by 7.8% for an overall sales value of $27.542 trillion.

In 2020, B2B digital ad spending leaped from 4.9% of the US digital ad market to 5.7%, marking a sizable growth in share for the industry.

Salesforce announces Slack integrations: These are Salesforce’s first major moves with its flagship products since completing its $28 billion acquisition of the messaging platform.

LinkedIn had a very strong 2020, during which its total ad revenues grew 31.3%, driven by its Marketing Solutions as B2Bs focused on targeting audiences working from home.

Display ads like banners and graphics, which have historically been less of a priority than search ads for B2B marketers, took up a greater share of US ad spending than ever before in 2020.

LinkedIn offers a boost: The platform rolled out new marketing tools to accompany the various features for live events and is offering marketers a way to make good on their organic success.

Although the pandemic has been the elephant in the (virtual meeting) room since early 2020, it isn’t the only hurdle agencies must overcome for continued growth and success.
