Customer buyer behaviour in B2B businesses continues to change due to the increasingly digital nature of today's business environment. By 2025, technology research company Gartner predicts that 80% of B2B sales interactions between suppliers and buyers will occur in digital channels.

Amazon vs Alibaba

Lots of B2B companies have the ambition to provide ecom for their customers. And I usually advise them to start by looking at what others do.

What is Industry 4.0 and why is it important?

The online world is filled with buzzwords, and we all get bombarded with the latest and greatest new big thing or thought.

Why compete and try to win awards?

Zooma-marketing-awardsHuman beings are a competitive race. We compete in everything, from sports to business and the marketing and communications industry is no exception. Every year there is a plethora of design, communication and marketing awards – both international and domestic ones. We have competitions where agencies and their clients compete to win a coveted price for having come up with the best campaign of the year, produced the best information, the best online presence or the best TV commercial. Why is that?
