Navigating a Cookieless Future: B2B Marketing Insights from Kevin England
At an industry-leading event, Vonazon CEO, Kevin England, joined forces with RollWorks to discuss the transformative trends in B2B marketing.
His presentation provided profound insights into the adoption of account-based marketing and how it’s reshaping strategies across businesses. Let’s explore some of the pivotal takeaways from his discussion and how they might influence your marketing approach.
The Evolution of B2B Marketing
The landscape of B2B marketing has drastically shifted from broad-reaching campaigns to more personalized and targeted strategies. This change has been driven by a combination of advanced digital technologies and evolving consumer expectations.
At Vonazon, we've embraced this shift by integrating AI-powered tools and sophisticated automation platforms like HubSpot to refine our targeting efforts.
Our approach involves crafting highly specialized campaigns that cater specifically to various industries, job roles, and company sizes. This level of personalization allows us to connect more meaningfully with high-value accounts, ensuring our messaging and content resonate more effectively with our target audience.
Staying Ahead of the Curve
In his talk, Kevin highlighted the critical role of staying abreast of emerging technologies in account-based advertising. The B2B marketing world is continually evolving, with new tools and platforms surfacing regularly. At Vonazon, we proactively monitor and adopt these innovations, which enables us to not only meet but exceed our operational goals and enhance service delivery to our clients.
From leveraging AI for deeper personalization to utilizing predictive analytics and intent data, we’re equipped to reshape our marketing strategies dynamically, ensuring optimal outcomes for our clients.
Navigating the Cookieless Future
One significant challenge looming on the horizon for B2B marketers is the deprecation of third-party cookies. These have been fundamental in digital advertising, helping marketers track user behavior across the web. However, with rising privacy concerns and stricter data protection laws, the future demands a shift towards more privacy-centric practices.
At Vonazon, we are pioneering new approaches to adapt to these changes.
Our Strategies Include

These steps are critical in ensuring that our advertising remains both effective and compliant with emerging regulations.
Moreover, in partnership with RollWorks, we are exploring innovative ways to future-proof against the deprecation of third-party cookies. RollWorks has been at the forefront of adapting to these changes, as highlighted in their article on futureproofing against third-party cookie deprecation. Together, we’re committed to providing our clients with robust and compliant marketing solutions.
Driving Success Through Collaboration
A key theme in Kevin’s discourse was the importance of collaborative efforts across different departments to amplify the success of account-based marketing initiatives. At Vonazon, we foster a culture of collaboration where the executive team actively participates in setting strategic directions that align with our overall business goals.

Looking Ahead: Key Trends and Opportunities
In the face of rapid technological advancements and changing market dynamics, it’s essential for businesses to future-proof their account-based advertising strategies. Embracing AI-driven personalization, leveraging influencer marketing, and utilizing video content are crucial for staying ahead of key trends and capitalizing on future opportunities. Voice search is gaining prominence, with 50% of buyers currently conducting their B2B searches through voice assistants. This trend necessitates a focus on creating content that mirrors natural speech patterns to create conversational voice interactions.
Moreover, inclusivity and diversity are becoming critical in B2B marketing. Companies with the highest levels of diversity and inclusion outperform their peers by 35% in financial performance. Ensuring that visual content and messaging reflect a diverse range of cultures, genders, and backgrounds is crucial for success in 2024.
The rise of self-service options is another trend to watch. With 75% of B2B buyers preferring to buy online without interacting with a salesperson, offering self-service options can empower buyers to make purchasing decisions at their own pace and free up sales teams to focus on higher-value activities.
Conclusion
The world of B2B marketing is rapidly evolving, driven by technological advancements and changing consumer expectations. By embracing innovation and fostering a culture of continuous learning and collaboration, businesses can navigate these changes successfully and achieve remarkable results through account-based advertising.
