CULTURE AS A MARKETING DIFFERENTIATOR

Culture is a hot topic in today’s marketing lexicon, especially so in the B2B space. After all, tangible marketing differentiators are sometimes muddied, and when that happens people, service, and experience rise to the top of B2B decision criteria. Culture is a common thread among those aspects. But culture is also highly claimable: anyone can claim a culture, a brand experience, a type of interaction. How do you prove it?  John Harmeling examines some aspects of how Grant Thornton has explored culture as a differentiator, and how it has taken it to market.

BEYOND TACTICS AND TECHNOLOGY, HOW THE USG MARKETING TEAM STRENGTHENED ITS VALUE TO THE FIRM

USG is a 116 year old company, an industry leader, and the owner of one of America’s most iconic brands (Sheetrock). But In 2016, having survived the Great Recession, the industry was rebuilding in largely unfamiliar ways. Changing customers, changing channels, and a whole new overlay of technology had to be reconciled with a renewed emphasis on growth.

Jeff White shares the story of how USG’s Marketing organization repositioned itself to be a stronger partner in its company’s success. Learn how it forged a stronger alignment with its business units and sales teams, demonstrating success in the absence of a strong correlation to sales and profit.

HOW B2 AWARD WINNER BENEFICIAL BANK MADE "REGIONAL" MATTER

Standing out in a commoditized category where all banks are seen as the same, can be an incredible challenge – but don’t tell that to B2 Award winner Beneficial Bank. A values-driven regional bank based in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with nearly $6 billion in assets, Beneficial doubled down on its values, history and community roots with the help of its agency, BouchezPage. 

Join Brent Bouchez, Founder & CEO of BouchezPage, as he tells the story of how Beneficial built an approach and offering specifically suited to local businesses, making its regional roots and values stand apart from the big national players, and shares concrete ideas for other marketers seeking to make their own unique offering matter to customers.
