Most marketers learned tactics first. The strategy underneath was never taught.
You can run campaigns, write copy, and read a dashboard. But when the questions get bigger: why should budget go to brand, who exactly are we for, what would you cut and why, most marketers are improvising. Not because they lack talent, but because nobody taught them the discipline underneath the deliverables.
This course is that missing foundation. Nine modules of evidence-based B2B marketing: how buyers actually buy, how brands actually grow, and what the research really says, built into decisions you make on your own business as you go.
Why this course is different
Evidence, not opinion
Every module is built on named research: How Brands Grow, The Long and the Short of It, the 95:5 rule, Gartner's buying journey work. You leave knowing what the evidence says, and how to cite it when challenged.
Decisions, not just concepts
Every module ends with better decisions you can make immediately: what to say no to, how to split budget, which metrics to stop reporting. Theory only counts here when it changes what you do.
One system, one page
The whole course builds toward your One-Page Growth Strategy. Each module adds a decision to the page, so you finish with a strategy you can defend in any room, not a folder of notes.
What's inside: nine modules, one system
Written lessons, real-world evidence, and a knowledge check in every module. Every module ends with better decisions you can act on.
What B2B Marketing Actually Is
Marketing is a discipline, not its visible outputs, and it is one of only two functions that create customers. Learn to define marketing's real role and defend its place in budget and structure conversations.
How B2B Buying Actually Works
Ninety-five percent of your market is not buying today, and the average purchase involves six to ten decision-makers. Learn to reach the full buying committee and get onto shortlists before the buying process starts.
Segmentation, Targeting and Positioning
Build a three-layer Ideal Customer Profile: firmographic, situational, and behavioural. Decide which accounts you are for, which you are not, and own a position in the buyer's mind before they are in market.
Brand and Demand
Demand has two jobs: creating it for the 95 percent not yet in market and capturing it from the 5 percent who are. Learn the evidence-based budget split, and how to defend brand investment that does not convert this quarter.
The Funnel Myth and the Real Buyer Journey
Real buyers loop between exploration and evaluation; they do not flow down a funnel. Learn where to meet them in the messy middle, and why presence over time beats precision in the moment.
Content Strategy for B2B
B2B content does four jobs: thought leadership, education, proof, and sales enablement. Build a content system around the associations you want to own, then multiply every asset with the repurposing waterfall.
Channel Strategy and the Media Mix
Every channel is paid, owned, or earned, each with different cost, trust, and time horizons. Choose channels by where your buyers actually are and the job each does, then build a mix that feeds itself.
Measurement and Marketing Metrics
Attribution misses 40 to 60 percent of the touchpoints behind B2B decisions. Build a three-layer measurement system across brand, demand, and revenue, and translate every metric into the language the board speaks.
Your One-Page Growth Strategy
The capstone: every decision from the previous eight modules lands on a single page. Pressure test it for coherence, scenarios, and the pre-mortem, and leave with the document you plan, budget, and operate from.
Nine modules, each with a knowledge check. Complete them all and your completion certificate is issued automatically.
What you will have built by the end of B2B Marketing: Fundamentals.
- Your One-Page Growth Strategy: the single page you plan, argue for budget, and operate from
- A three-layer ICP and positioning statement: who you are for, who you are not, and the position you own
- A brand and demand budget split: creation versus capture, backed by the evidence
- A three-layer measurement framework: brand, demand, and revenue, translated for the board
- A channel mix you chose deliberately: including the channels you will not use, and why
- Your completion certificate: issued automatically when all nine knowledge checks are done
Is this for you?
This course is for you if:
- You're a marketer who wants the strategic foundation your career skipped
- You want to argue for budget with evidence rather than opinion
- You'd rather build one defensible strategy than chase another tactic
Probably not for you if:
- You want channel hacks and growth tricks
- You're after a consumer marketing course: this is B2B to its core
