In the B2B marketing world, we are increasingly more focused on measurement. Leads, click-throughs, likes, etc., are all important data points that marketers are keeping track of. However, these are related largely to marketing activities. While measuring activities is beneficial and important, where marketing needs to shift their focus is on results and actual value.
