In this episode of The 1% Insight, we delve into the critical importance of engaging Millennial and Gen Z buyers in the B2B technology sector. As these demographics increasingly dominate decision-making roles, understanding their unique buying behaviours is essential for safeguarding future revenue streams.

Key Points:

• Demographic Shift: In 2025, Millennials and Gen Z comprise the majority of decision-makers in large B2B transactions. Ignoring their preferences could mean missing out on significant revenue opportunities.

• Omnichannel Engagement: Combining digital content with in-person events creates a comprehensive strategy that meets buyers where they are, enhancing brand visibility and trust.
• Data Utilisation: Leveraging data from digital interactions can inform personalised marketing strategies, bridging the gap between marketing and sales.

Conclusion:

To remain competitive, B2B technology companies must adapt their marketing strategies to align with the expectations of younger, digital-savvy buyers. Consistency, value, and strategic content distribution are key to capturing their attention and securing future revenue.
