New White Space Opportunities for B2B Business Models

With the shift towards customer-centric strategies and a higher reliance on first-party data, B2B media businesses must continue to evolve their business models. Those that don’t do so risk stagnation.

Methodology

As part of this study, Outsell conducted briefings with 14 B2B Media and Business Information companies to get updates to their business model strategies and assess how they evolved over time. This included business units focused on media, events, education, and research and intelligence as well as efforts to provide marketing services, workflow solutions, and data services. We also conducted secondary research to identify business model offerings of similar companies and analyzed major trends impacting these businesses.
