Any B2B marketer needs to be able to justify their marketing efforts. To do so, many marketers turn to web, social, and email analytics. Unfortunately, these types of analytics only tell you what happened. You lost traffic to a page, a bounce rate is climbing, a social media account is failing to engage, or your newsletter is cratering. These tools never tell you why this is happening.
But knowing why matters. If you understand why customers are failing to fill out a form, don’t click through to a piece of content, or stopped visiting your site, you can make meaningful changes to marketing tactics and strategies.
Our Approach to Data-Driven Marketing Research:
For data-driven marketing research projects, we take a detailed look at the analytics and dashboards you have today. Then we craft a custom research effort to help you understand why your marketing efforts aren’t engaging potential customers.
We can support a data-driven approach to:
- Persona-based marketing.
- Segmentation.
- PPC strategy.
- Content strategy.
- Brand strategy.
- Social media strategy.

When Do You Need B2B Data-Driven Marketing Research?
There are a number of examples of where a B2B marketer might need custom research to make smart decisions. Here are just a few.
Campaigns that Crash
Even smart, analytical marketers have campaigns that flop. If your last campaign didn’t generate much engagement or produced engagement but not results, you need to understand why.
Refining Content Strategy
Narrow Your Lane
Great custom research can help you narrow your targeting efforts. It can also help you more intelligently segment your audience to deliver the personalized experience expected by today’s B2B buyers.
Website Woes
If your site isn’t generating traffic, engagement, or leads, you know you have a problem. Analytics like bounce rates and time on page can hint at the real problem. But in order to make meaningful change, you need to ask prospective customers why they aren’t sticking around.

“Working with Cascade was fantastic. They got up to speed quickly on our industry and its nuances, and they were able to collect the data and derive the insights we were looking for in a straightforward, no drama way. They were collaborative and flexible, and they altered their work plan and interview questions as the needs of our project evolved. I would recommend them to other marketers, and if/when the need arises again, I would 100% call on them.”
