Genius.com has been facilitating a lot of research into the B2B marketplace to learn more about what's changed for marketers, as well as for buyers. Armed with fresh insights from the Inside the Mind of the New B2B Buyer Survey and the B2B Marketer Skills Survey, Genius.com decided to put more meat on the bones of their Connected Marketer community by developing Demand Gen Academy.
Demand Gen Academy offers four tracks and 20 half-hour courses for B2B Marketers to hone their skills. But, it's not just the 30 minutes of instruction time, but the quizzes, worksheets, guides and other materials that will help you retain the information and put it to use.
