Session: B2B’s Midlife Crisis: What B2B Marketers Can Learn from B2C
Traditional B2B marketing is losing its edge. Logic-heavy messaging, funnel-first strategies, and transactional outreach are no longer enough to engage today’s buyers—especially in tech. Meanwhile, the most innovative B2B companies are breaking the mold by borrowing from the emotional, story-driven world of B2C.
This session explores how B2B marketing is undergoing a midlife crisis—and why it’s time to evolve. Drawing from both Silicon Valley and entrepreneurial experience, this talk lays out a bold new blueprint: one that merges B2C storytelling, emotional resonance, and brand personality with B2B scale and strategy.
• Why logic-driven marketing is no longer enough to drive adoption or loyalty
• How to build emotional resonance and trust in a B2B context
• Discover practical ways to humanize B2B messaging without losing professionalism or scale
• Explore real-world examples of B2B tech companies applying B2C strategies successfully
Who Should Attend?
• CMOs and marketing leaders in tech
• Startup founders and B2B brand strategists
• Product marketers and growth teams
• Anyone rethinking how to connect with today’s B2B buyers
