New Event Added - 2021 SMB Insights for Enterprise Marketers | Phase 5

Phase 5 agency partner Cargo has been (virtually) on the road this year, discussing and sharing findings from our joint 2021 State of SMB (Small & Medium Business) Study based on 2,000 surveys completed by Small Business Owners (SBOs) across the U.S. and Canada. Each event has presented insights from a different perspective, whether by country or by industry vertical, revealing findings such as SMBs' top 4 digital transformation goals, what's driving their new tech investments, and what support they need & expect from their banks. (Hints: refining e-commerce is actually #2, end-users are key influencers, and more proactive communication would be helpful!)

Next on the list of events is the ANA Masters of B2B Marketing Conference, July 21st to 23rd. Cargo Founder & Chief Growth Officer Dan Gliatta will participate in a Thought Leader Session with Scott Omelianuk (Editor-in-Chief of Inc. Media) where they will discuss the current and future state of small business. Both speakers will draw upon research to illustrate how the seismic shift in consumer, workstyle, and operating behaviors has forever transformed the small business landscape, and they will make recommendations to enterprise brands about how best to market and sell to the SMB segment going forward.
