The data is interesting, but "B2B" doesn't make much sense as a single entity from a lead generation point of view. Depending on whether the products and services are horizontal or vertical markets, direct or channel, the strategies and tools are different.

Which audience are we talking about, the ones that find you, or the one's you go out and find. They have completely different characteristics.

The figures above are presumably averages of the two approaches.

Then, both Social and Email marketing can be lead gen tools, but more often used for nurturing, a second stage process.

So, average of different strategies, and an average of different stages.

Is it not like saying "the players in my football team averaged 4 goals each last season". This wouldn't tell us what our striker is worth would it?

So is social media marketing the way of the future?  Interesting read...

insight: b2b marketing , lead generation, social media still ranking not on top. Or are the  effects just indirect? That is the key question.

Quite a stir was made a week ago, when Mark Schaefer published his Content Shock article on the businessesgrow blog.

A paraphrasing of the question he asked was, ‘At what point does the exponential increase in content production make the cost of trying to grab and hold attention no longer cost-effective?’

The topic resonated me as well as many others and the responses were swift, including  Shel Holtz, Sonia Simone of Copyblogger and Marty Smith, the first two of which are discussed in the piece published in curatti.com (Marty’s piece was published too late to be included).

We don’t feel that Content Shock is something that any of us need to be concerned over. 

Let’s not forget that

“As content continues to grow, search keeps pace by constantly improving. “

“Semantic Search may be beyond most people now, but it will become a part of everyone’s life even if in the same mysterious way that a car engine helps that wonderful machine convey us from point A to point B.”

And amongst those who stand to gain from the situation are:

“Discerning Curators who understand the needs of their readers because they are consumers of the same content, only sharing what blows them away!”

… a statement which is at least partly backed up here by an end user perspective:

“When I need to research something, I go to a few trusted sources and get what I want, when I want it.”

The message to readers is: “If someone is out there filtering the deluge of articles that you might otherwise have to work your own way through…. it removes the burden of you having to deal with the ever growing content mountain.”

So is Content Shock real?  With all the excellent curators and filtering tools available ....... Only for those who insist on reading every source for themselves
