80% of B2B deals are won by the vendor the buyer favored before first contact — during the anonymous, content-driven research phase (6sense, 2025 Buyer Experience Report). That number reframes the entire job of content marketing: the goal is not to persuade buyers in a sales call but to be the obvious choice before one ever happens. Marketing leaders and content marketers are driving this shift by adopting advanced strategies and technology, with lead generation and alignment to marketing objectives as primary goals.

Having a documented content marketing strategy is more important than ever for success in this evolving landscape.
