Customer Obsessed Marketing: Madlibs w/ Nick Bell from @Eloqua

I went to Eloqua Experience last week (but missed Robin Thicke). I wanted to get Eloqua represented on Madlibs leading up the event but managed to send them the information two days before the event. (Nice one Craig!) But here they are! Today’s Madlibs contributor is Nick Bell who is Senior Director of Corporate Marketing and Modern Marketing Expert at Oracle Eloqua.

1. The b2b buyer is looking to join a customer community where the goal is to become an advocate, whether they know it or not
2. The biggest innovation in marketing is Digital Body Language
3. The coolest thing happening in b2b marketing is creating a customer-obsessed marketing team
4. My favorite marketing book is Digital Body Language by Steve Woods
5. My favorite social media channel is LinkedIn
6. Social media for b2b is Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook for content and Instagram, Pinterest, and Vine for visuals
7. b2b video is powerful when it authentically tells the story of customer success
8. In b2b, the idea of a funnel is being extended from prospect to customer to advocate
9. The first thing every marketer should do is find someone honest to call them on their BS
10. Content marketing is delivering engaging content aligned to the context of a customer’s mindset
11. The biggest mistake marketers make is not truly knowing the customer
12. The biggest myth in b2b marketing is batch and blast email 
13. My favorite marketing technology besides marketing automation is content marketing software
14. Besides revenue, the metric every marketer must track is data-driven accountability to the business
15. My most forgettable marketing experience is one I can’t remember
16. Mobile marketing is engaging in real time with content in context
17. The next “hot-thing” in marketing will be multichannel, always-on marketing that engages across the complete customer customer lifecycle
18. In 2015, marketing will be completely customer obsessed or out of business
19. Over the next couple years in marketing, I can’t wait to see someone monetize all those funny cat videos
20. Madlibs with the Funnelholic is so addictive that I want to take a sabbatical and do it full-time
