Brand Recognition/Preference: Focus Reports + Editorial Calendar
SMM publishes (at a minimum) two Focus Reports quarterly
Published twice per quarter (with the flexibility to produce additional reports if warranted), each Focus Report takes a deep dive into a trending B2B sales or marketing topic. They are succinct, insightful and digital-only for our subscribers’ easy access. Editor Paul Nolan has been leading media brands in the sales and marketing space for more than 30 years – his insight, experience, natural curiosity, and journalism background drives the site’s informative content for readers and creates a valuable environment for advertisers to present their own persuasive messages.
