B2B marketing in 2025: We ask the experts As 2024 draws to a close, B2B marketers are looking ahead to the next year and considering how they will make their businesses stand out from the crowd. While B2B may have a (deserved?) reputation for being slower to evolve or less innovative than B2C in the realm of marketing, there is a wealth of exciting things happening on the cutting edge of B2B.
