Customer stories and word-of-mouth are among the most powerful tools available to B2B marketers. From recognizable company logos to in-depth case studies, customers provide crucial evidence that you do what you say and deliver on your brand promises.

To put your reserves of customer goodwill to work, you need to shift your marketing effort from currying favor to nurturing advocates — and alter your strategy from an exclusive focus on companies to include the individuals behind the customer success stories. In this Webinar, Forrester Vice President and Principal Analyst Laura Ramos shows how marketers can use people who have a personal story or expert perspective to share about your firm to generate compelling, interesting, and believable content to fuel your marketing programs and demand generation activity.
