The recent announcement of Microsoft integrating ChatGPT into its search engine Bing, followed by Google's unveiling of a future AI chatbot Bard, has taken the internet by surprise. Will there be an era of competition? How ethical and unbiased will our future searches be? Google dominates the search market with around 84% market share in the world. While Bing has spent years battling for second place in search behind Yahoo!. However, with the rise of the popularity of Chat GPT and Bing's AI-powered rebrand, their popularity scenario may seem to change. Bing's success will depend on how much value users place on "complex searches". Let's think of our own job search uses: Do we mostly google basic queries like " Hotels in Berlin" or do we google "Hostels in Berlin from March 10-17 no more than $70 within the City Center with Air Conditioning"? If your answer is the second one then Bing will be the platform to use. The recent integration of Bing and ChatGPT could potentially give Bing the edge it needs to compete with Google. ChatGPT will give Bing a competitive advantage by making it more intuitive and allowing a user-friendly conversational experience. While Google relies on keyword-based searches. As a marketer, this truly shows the importance of creating and nurturing strategic partnerships. Not only the one establish with OpenAi but also its current one with LinkedIn to provide more personalized and relevant search results. However, there are several reasons to be skeptical about whether Bing's integration with ChatGPT will be enough to rival Google. Google currently holds an enormous wealth of data possession to power Ai algorithms. Thus, Bing will still need to invest in improving its data quality and developing their AI algorithms. Will this be the end of Google? I don't think so. Google's portfolio of apps and features makes them a strong opponent. For example, Google Maps, Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos, make it a much more attractive option for many users. #opinion #ai #chatgpt #bing #google #searchengines Image credit to Chartr

Hire a full-time CMO?! Hire an agency?! Try doing marketing myself?! Can I do it right? I need to decide. This is the dialogue inside the heads of many CEOs and founders who never hired a marketer. I have met many of those. The whole issue and confusion come because most decision-makers don't know how to control, hire or keep accountable a marketer. That is why they go with the safest choice. That is very often why the first marketing hire is a freelancer. It is natural that you want to try someone or experiment before you hire a full-time marketer or Chief marketing officer. Test the ground. Experiment. Do a pilot. Mitigate risks. As a freelancer, your role is to educate them about marketing, or they will never understand marketing. Who should be the first marketing hire? Freelancer Full-time marketer or CMO Fractional Chief of Marketing Agency

Most of us in the B2B industry are used to thinking of content in the form of blog posts, ebooks, and case studies rather than videos 🤔 Yet, there is a huge untapped potential, especially for SaaS products. Why? You can make a complex product easier to understand. 🎥 😩 The challenge: People have short attention spans, and we feel overwhelmed in creating content that's engaging, short, entertaining, and professional all at once. 💡 The answer? Be clear on your objectives! Make video a part of your marketing funnel, employing strategies like product demos, tutorials, or explainer videos. Reuse this content to educate your potential customers at every step of your marketing funnel. And ultimately, remember it's all about storytelling! ☝ Now there is a fine line between being salesy and authentic. Don't think of YouTube as a platform to sell but rather as a platform to connect and build a community. So, show the people who make the magic happen - introduce your team and humanize your brand 💫 The cherry on top? YouTube's immense data potential. Leveraging YouTube's AI and analytics tools, you can understand your audience better and refine your position, messaging, content, and targeting. 📊🔍 If your brand already has a YouTube channel, drop it the comments, and let's support each other. 🤝🔗 #b2bmarketing #youtubemarketing #youtube #content #marketing #b2b #storytelling #video #branding

Expensive software vs. skill and creativity in #b2bmarketing - who will win? A few months ago, I talked to the CEO of one company looking to go beyond the "lead gen approach." They are selling machine learning solutions, and their market is the world itself. It felt like something I had heard many many times, before. The point of this discussion was to find out what the executive thinks about a demand generation program. I was astonished to hear: "We never did Account-Based Marketing or Demand Generation because it is costly!" How much you think it is, I asked: " First, you need to buy software like Terminus (4500 USD/month, more than what I charge), then you need to add Zoominfo to the info (another 2000 USD/month), and then you have to spend money on creating content." He could not be more wrong. I don't need software that costs more than my monthly salary, nor do we need Zoominfo data. The data is helpful, but imagine how many people they already sell that data to?! You will be competing with your ads to capture the attention of x number of companies. Meanwhile, there is plenty of other fish in the sea they know nothing about! He took some time to think about it, and we are discussing a pilot with him but How many people think the same? 100, 1000, a million?
