Who We Are

The B2B Institute researches new approaches to B2B growth.

We believe that brand building is the single greatest marketing investment companies can make to gain a competitive edge in B2B. We are committed to introducing new strategies for growth that expand beyond tactical short-term thinking to help the B2B industry take the long view.

We partner with leading academic and industry experts to study the impact of B2B brand building on marketing, product, sales, corporate communications, and talent development.

Bet on Contrarian Ideas

We seek experimental and future-focused ideas to push the boundaries of conventional wisdom. We believe there is no advantage to going with the crowd and the real competitive advantage lies in being contrarian and right.

Invest in Future Cash Flows

Brand marketing is chronically underfunded in B2B, but brand marketing is the driver of future cash flows. We aim to strengthen the link between marketing and finance in B2B.
