    <title>Buyer Personas for Engineers.  What questions to ask?</title> 
    <link>http://www.engineering.com/AdvertiseWithUs/Blog/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/5821/Buyer-Personas-for-Engineers-What-questions-to-ask.aspx</link> 
    <description>It&amp;rsquo;s striking how different engineers&#39; thought processes are from marketers&amp;rsquo;.

When conducting persona research we like to&amp;nbsp;start by asking about the top initiatives that the engineer has in their job right now.&amp;nbsp; It can be tough to listen patiently to the answers, because they often don&amp;rsquo;t relate to the product at hand.&amp;nbsp;
Next, we bring them around to the issues that the product addresses.&amp;nbsp; Again, they typically don&amp;rsquo;t describe their environment with th...</description>

    <title>The ugly field work in gathering Buyer Personas for Engineers</title> 
    <link>http://www.engineering.com/AdvertiseWithUs/Blog/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/5782/The-ugly-field-work-in-gathering-Buyer-Personas-for-Engineers.aspx</link> 
    <description>We all recognize the importance of building buyer personas.&amp;nbsp; Yet most industrial marketers take a disastrous short cut.
There are two main parts of the Persona Project.&amp;nbsp; The first, and most often skipped, is figuring out the main job of your target customers. &amp;nbsp;This likely has little to do with your product.&amp;nbsp; Instead it&amp;rsquo;s the guts of their jobs - what do they do all day and what priorities do they have.
The second part of developing a buyer persona is figuring out how ...</description>

    <description>Many architects, engineers and construction professionals still believe that the only way to sell services is through face-to-face connections. Indeed, personal connections can be evolved into professional relationships through trust-building situations. However, the buying process in professional services, particularly buying and selling architecture, engineering and construction services, has changed dramatically. 
What are the changes? At Hinge, we set out to find the answer to how buying an...</description>

    <description>I just read Michael Cooney&amp;rsquo;s new eBook, &amp;ldquo;7 secrets to Internet Marketing for Industry&amp;rdquo;.&amp;nbsp; 


I&amp;rsquo;ve known Michael for years and can confidently state that he is a true digital marketing expert.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;


Together with his team at EngNet, Michael has helped hundreds of industrial buyers connect with their online audiences.&amp;nbsp;

    <description>The Internet Advertising Bureau and PWC released their semi-annual report this week.&amp;nbsp; Here are a few of the highlights:
Overall digital advertising growth has been remarkably fast and steady over the past 10 years, with the exception of the recession year in 2009.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
This resilience is because digital media still represents better value than most other forms of advertising.&amp;nbsp; 
We think it still has quite a way to run.

    <description>Research firm Gartner is forecasting a decline of 7.6% for traditional notebooks and desktops in 2013 compared to 2012.&amp;nbsp; Meanwhile, tablet sales are forecast to grow by 69.8%.

If your digital marketing strategy requires engineers to be at their desktops to see your banners or to download your white paper, that fact ought to make you sit up and take notice.

Engineers behave differently when using mobile devices.&amp;nbsp; What&amp;rsquo;s a marketer to do when your entire target audience stops...</description>

    <description>What does structured search mean for your digital marketing budget? &amp;nbsp;Probably that you will buy ads from Amazon soon.
You may have heard about Amazon&amp;rsquo;s structured search.&amp;nbsp; Here&amp;rsquo;s why it&amp;rsquo;s important for engineering marketers.&amp;nbsp; 

Amazon has an excellent recommendation engine.&amp;nbsp; They are applying that to industrial product sales, and some competitors are starting to list their products in the Amazon stores. &amp;nbsp;A few years ago Amazon structured search for s...</description>

    <description>NY Times is using data to tell more engaging advertising stories.&amp;nbsp; What does this mean for engineering marketers?
In this interview, Joanna O&amp;rsquo;Connell from Forrester Research talks to Michael Zimbalist, the head of R&amp;amp;D for the NY Times about using data to support storytelling.&amp;nbsp; Michael uses an example of how the NY Times has built interactive graphics for things like the US Presidential election.&amp;nbsp;

    <description>Native advertising (also called sponsored posts) is popular with readers, according to Jason Pontin, Editor of MIT&amp;rsquo;s Technology Review.&amp;nbsp; 
MIT Tech Review did a study and found that the 2nd most remembered content in their magazine was the native advertising.&amp;nbsp; Of course, the content has to be the sort of good content that engineers want to read. &amp;nbsp;But with that caveat, sponsored content ranked ahead of the magazine&amp;rsquo;s cover stories, for example in terms of sticking with ...</description>

    <description>As a marketer, your goal is to cast your product in the best possible light.&amp;nbsp; But reality counts too.&amp;nbsp; Engineers have no trouble seeing through a one-sided presentation.&amp;nbsp; In fact, they&amp;rsquo;re looking for reasons to dismiss anything that smells like marketing.

Recently we&amp;rsquo;ve been asked to run a lot of sponsored content on ENGINEERING.com.&amp;nbsp; Most of it is great &amp;ndash; informative, balanced and valuable to the engineer.&amp;nbsp; But sometimes it isn&amp;rsquo;t really conten...</description>

    <description>Older industrial marketing videos garner more views last month than in 2012.

We noticed that some of the older videos we created for clients performed well last month.&amp;nbsp; Really well.&amp;nbsp; One 2011 video had 4,500 views on Youtube in January 2013. That&amp;rsquo;s quite a performance for an 18 month-old industrial marketing video.
Digging a little deeper we found this trend repeating across many more older videos.&amp;nbsp; In general, popular videos were seeing 2-3X as many views in Jan 2013 co...</description>

    <description>I&amp;rsquo;m really curious about the power of active social sharing for marketing to engineers.
If you don&amp;rsquo;t know what social sharing is, it happens when people who are reading your content decide to share it with their followers.&amp;nbsp; Buttons like these on a content page allow people to share with a single click.

The buttons in the example above support &amp;ldquo;passive&amp;rdquo; social sharing.&amp;nbsp; They help by giving people an easy way to share.&amp;nbsp; You&amp;rsquo;ll see buttons sort of li...</description>

    <description>Here at ENGINERING.com we&#39;re creating an algorithm to predict the number of leads you can expect from a content marketing asset like a white paper or a webinar.

Lots of our clients run lead generation campaigns that collect contact information in return for a white paper.&amp;nbsp; I think it would be incredibly useful (and geek fun for me) if we could predict in advance how many leads these would get before we send an eblast.
Here are the variables I&amp;rsquo;m thinking of building into the algori...</description>

    <title>Can engineering marketers get a better crystal ball?  The risk of bias in marketing predictions.</title>

    <description>My son gave me &amp;ldquo;The Signal and the Noise&amp;rdquo;, by Nate Silver this Christmas.&amp;nbsp; It talks about why predictions are so hard.&amp;nbsp; And it relates directly to engineering marketing.&amp;nbsp; 

We all make predictions in our marketing jobs.&amp;nbsp; We anticipate how many times a certain piece of content will be viewed.&amp;nbsp; We predict our conversion rates.&amp;nbsp; We count on old distribution channels and distrust new ones. &amp;nbsp;But Silver&amp;rsquo;s book says that our predictions are biased ...</description>

    <title>Marketing to engineers shifting away from number of leads in 2013</title>

    <description>The main focus for engineering marketers in 2013 will still be on leads, with web site traffic coming second.&amp;nbsp; That doesn&amp;rsquo;t sound like news.&amp;nbsp; But the real news is in an underlying shift from lead quantity to lead quality.&amp;nbsp; 
Here&amp;rsquo;s why:&amp;nbsp; Over the past 5 years or so, the leading engineering marketers have built enormous contact databases.&amp;nbsp; They&amp;rsquo;ve also sent regular communications to the database, but those communications haven&amp;rsquo;t always resulted in ...</description>

    <description>My post last week talked about the 2013 plans for engineering marketers including more spending on Internet marketing and less on trade publications and events.&amp;nbsp; But what digital spending is trending higher?&amp;nbsp; Not search marketing, surprisingly.&amp;nbsp; Instead engineering marketers are telling us that they are increasing their budgets on content creation.&amp;nbsp; 
This chart from Hubspot shows the percentage of B2B marketing budgets that have been allocated to blogs, SEO and social market...</description>

    <description>Over the past few weeks I&amp;rsquo;ve been traveling with Adrian Nash, ENGINEERING.com&amp;rsquo;s Sales Director to meet with engineering marketers about their 2013 plans.&amp;nbsp; This series of blog posts will cover some of the trends&amp;nbsp;we&#39;ve learned&amp;nbsp;about &amp;ndash; what&amp;rsquo;s worked in 2012 and what they plan to do in 2013.
The first big trend is that engineering marketers plan to do more digital marketing in 2013.&amp;nbsp; The reasons they gave&amp;nbsp;were&amp;nbsp;i)&amp;nbsp;internet marketing costs le...</description>

    <description>I follow a lot of industrial marketing gurus.&amp;nbsp; Here&amp;rsquo;s a quick round up of my fave five:

Achinta Mitra &amp;ndash; Calls himself a marketing engineer.&amp;nbsp; Sounds like an oxymoron, but if you follow his blog Industrial Marketing Today, you&amp;rsquo;ll learn a lot about creating content for that audience.
Jon DiPietro &amp;ndash;Jon&amp;rsquo;s blog is called Domesticating IT, but the points he raises apply equally well to marketers who need to reach any technical audience, including engineers.&amp;n...</description>

    <link>http://www.engineering.com/AdvertiseWithUs/Blog/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/4884/Most-engineering-marketers-dont-talk-to-customers.aspx</link> 
    <description>Most marketers never actually get a chance to spend time with the engineers who are their end users.&amp;nbsp; That&amp;rsquo;s too bad.&amp;nbsp; Spending time in the field provides an opportunity to more deeply understand how and why your product is used in the workplace.&amp;nbsp; 
Instead,&amp;nbsp;we often rely on&amp;nbsp;2nd hand information that comes from our sales force or through&amp;nbsp;quick customer&amp;nbsp;meetings at trade shows.&amp;nbsp; Learning about your product use this way can get you a long way towards u...</description>

    <title>Do engineers prefer video content over articles?  </title> 
    <link>http://www.engineering.com/AdvertiseWithUs/Blog/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/4860/Do-engineers-prefer-video-content-over-articles.aspx</link> 
    <description>ENGINEERING.com surveyed over 750 engineers in October to learn how they consume content on the Internet.&amp;nbsp; The answers are important to digital marketers who need engineers to hear their messages.


The table shows that articles are the preferred format for gathering information.&amp;nbsp; But video is a very close second.&amp;nbsp; This was true across all levels of engineers, from technicians to senior engineers, to managers and even C Level executives.&amp;nbsp; 
So if you are wondering when wou...</description>

    <title>What does the iPhone 5 mean for industrial marketers?  </title> 
    <link>http://www.engineering.com/AdvertiseWithUs/Blog/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/4792/What-does-the-iPhone-5-mean-for-industrial-marketers.aspx</link> 
    <description>The iPhone 5 is predicted to sell up to 10M devices by the end of September.&amp;nbsp; At the same time, Android devices are being activated at a rate of 900,000 per day.&amp;nbsp; Engineers are consuming content on mobile devices at a rapid rate.

If you still strive to deliver all your messages to an engineer in front of a computer at work, you may be missing a big market.&amp;nbsp; 
Delivering mobile messages isn&amp;rsquo;t easy.&amp;nbsp; Engineers don&amp;rsquo;t use their tablets or phones to search for specs...</description>

    <title>Why is B2B video growing, and why not as fast as B2C</title>

    <description>I asked analyst Ashley Swartz to research why B2B video is growing, but not as fast as B2C.&amp;nbsp; You can see her&amp;nbsp;insights here: http://bit.ly/PZcSm2



She includes some best practices for video production (invest in quality)&amp;nbsp;and distribution (use trusted partners) that are helpful for engineering marketers who are considering video in their content mix.</description>
