Most companies spend somewhere between 5% and 15% of revenue on marketing, depending on their industry, growth stage, and how much pressure the CFO is applying that quarter. But the percentage itself is not the answer. It is a starting point for a conversation that most leadership teams never quite finish. The more useful question…
A marketing competitor analysis template is a structured framework for capturing, organising, and comparing intelligence across your competitive set, covering positioning, messaging, channels, offers, and commercial signals. The best ones don’t just document what competitors are doing. They surface the gaps worth exploiting and the threats worth taking seriously. Most templates I’ve seen in agency…
The best demand generation tactics for B2B teams in 2025 combine content that builds awareness early in the buying cycle with structured outreach, intent signals, and sales alignment that converts that awareness into pipeline. No single tactic does the job. The teams that consistently generate quality pipeline are the ones that treat demand generation as…
Loss aversion is the psychological tendency for people to feel the pain of losing something more intensely than the pleasure of gaining something equivalent. In practical terms, the fear of losing £100 is a stronger motivator than the prospect of winning £100. For marketers, this is one of the most consistently reliable levers in buyer…

The BrewDog rebrand is a case study in what happens when a company mistakes visual change for cultural repair. After years of reputational damage, from toxic workplace allegations to a string of marketing stunts that aged badly, BrewDog responded the way many organisations do: they changed the logo, softened the tone, and called it a…
ABM and demand generation are not competing philosophies. They are different tools for different commercial situations, and the companies that treat them as interchangeable tend to get poor results from both. ABM concentrates resources on a defined set of accounts with the expectation of high conversion and high deal value. Demand generation builds broad market…
Media buying in advertising is the process of purchasing ad placements across channels, formats, and audiences to reach the right people at the right time for the right cost.
