Improving lead quality in B2B marketing campaigns means tightening the alignment between who you target, what you offer, and how you qualify interest before passing anything to sales. It is not about generating fewer leads for the sake of it. It is about making sure the leads you do generate have a realistic chance of…
A B2B PR and digital marketing retainer typically costs between $3,000 and $20,000 per month, depending on scope, agency size, and the seniority of the team working on your account. Most mid-market B2B companies land somewhere between $5,000 and $12,000 per month for a combined PR and digital marketing engagement. What you get for that…
The Zuora acquisition by Silver Lake in 2024, taking the subscription management platform private at roughly $1.7 billion, is one of those deals that looks clean on the surface and gets more interesting the longer you sit with it.
