% total SMBs % total Ents Difference Between SMBs & Ents

Within the marke�ng and adver�sing industry swimming in world of digital overload, it seems that offline tac�cs are making a comeback (e.g. ‘Promo�onal Order’, ‘Mail Order’ and ‘Print’ as high ranking topics within the top 10 in the US and globally).

Other topics that marketers are consuming include those pertaining to sales (e.g. 'Online Sales', 'Commissions', 'Contract Nego�a�ons' and 'Effec�ve Selling') - could this mean increased alignment between sales andmarke�ng... or a turf war to prove ROI?

There were no great differences in the popular topics globally versus the US - perhaps indica�ng anoverarching alignment of the B2B marke�ng space driven through globaliza�on and the dissemina�on of content.
