Yesterday Nalka gathered its portfolio companies to dive deep into digital marketing for B2B companies — a topic riddled with, and limited by, old myths and sometimes dated mindset. With a focus on debunking these old B2B marketing myths and introducing new ways of targeting key audiences, the session offered great insights and discussions. We are very grateful for the excellent hosting and inspiring presentations of Stefania Casciari Carter and David Blinov from the Precis group, and presentations Anna Albinsson from Avoki and Graciella Garmann and Henrik Åquist from Norstat. A big thanks to all participants!
