B2B Enterprise Marketing Budget Trends for 2025
What percentage of revenue are B2B enterprises devoting to marketing? What share of marketing budgets are going to personnel? How much are budgets expected to grow in the next year?
Research conducted by The B2B Institute at LinkedIn, Light Years, and GWI has identified four key characteristics of younger B2B decision-makers: blurred boundaries (B), evolving (E), tech native (T), and activist (A). BETAs often blur work-life boundaries, seek continual self-evolution, and expect brands to address social issues.
The survey data showed that BETAs use business services like Zoom for both personal and professional reasons, and are significantly more likely than older decision-makers to take part in professional online learning. They are also tech and mobile natives, using their smartphones for work and collaboration tools such as Slack and Microsoft Teams.
