Think in terms of always on programs, not one off blasts. Measure pipeline and revenue, not just leads. 100 MQLs that don't convert are worth less than 10 that do. Sales and marketing alignment is critical. Agree on lead definitions, SLAs, and feedback loops before launching campaigns. Start with one channel done well before adding more. Most teams spread budget too thin. B2B sales cycles are long (60 180 days). Don't judge campaign performance in week 1. Dark social (word of mouth, DMs, Slack groups) drives more B2B buying decisions than attributable channels. Create content people want to share privately.
