This “best practice” comes from Carol Hague.  Carol is an experienced integrated marketing campaign manager and offers a helpful approach to mapping marcom activities and content appropriately to the lead funnel. 

She and I collaborated on this graphic and share it as a powerful reference tool for B2B marketers everywhere.  This is by no means a comprehensive list of available activities and content types, but it is enough to help guide teams as they draft their marketing blueprints.

I offer this graphic as a companion tool to the marketing blueprint examples you can find elsewhere on this blog and in my book, Marketing Campaign Development.

What suggestions do you have to make this tool/graphic even stronger?

It’s common to get caught up in the “ready, fire, aim!” approach to lead generation.  Executives and marketers scramble for action.  But when the action is mis-directed to producing the wrong kind of leads, everybody loses.

With the help of a colleague, we’ve created a helpful graphic that illustrates the mapping of marcom mix activities and content to the appropriate stage in the lead funnel.  Check out this blog post on the Marketing Campaign Development blog for more details.
