How the Heck Did They Do THAT?! Taking Risks in B2B Marketing

November 14 - 8:30am to 9:15am

Pass Type: All Access Pass, Main Conference Pass

Session Type: Concurrent Session

Session Topic: Marketing Strategy


Think about B2B’s greatest creative moments, when a brand took a risk, and it paid off big time. Pretty small list, isn’t it? Volvo’s Epic Split? Adobe’s Mean Streets? Velocity’s “Crap”? We’re all thinking of the same few examples. And with each one, you’ve probably wondered: Who had that idea? How the [BLEEP] did they get it made? What were the results?

Well, David McGuire got tired of wondering. He tracked down the people involved and asked them questions—questions like, “How did you feel when somebody first said ‘Jean-Claude van Damme’?” And now, he’ll tell you EXACTLY how they did it.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • How to spot the moment when you have a real chance to do something different
  • How real-world marketers got THOSE ideas approved (some you’ve definitely heard of; some you haven’t)
  • Why the best creative risks aren’t really a risk at all
