Description
B2B marketers face unique challenges, including non-linear buyer journeys, multiple decision-makers, and long sales cycles, alongside the (mis)perception of their work being boring and lacking in creativity.
Written by a seasoned industry practitioner, The Future of B2B Marketing offers original insights and guidance into the evolving B2B landscape, showing how artificial intelligence can be applied at every stage of the buying journey – from capturing awareness from the right audience and generating quality engagement through to optimizing measurement and performance.
It serves to both guide experienced professionals while also supporting those new to the industry, offering reminders, confidence-building, and practical approaches for navigating the everyday complexities of B2B marketing.
Combining research, frameworks, case studies, and career-focused advice, this book helps marketers embrace new technologies and learn how to put AI into practice, using their own judgement and expertise to act effectively – and ultimately make smarter decisions.

In The Future of B2B Marketing, Luan Wise delivers a much-needed, grounded perspective on the intersection of digital innovation and marketing strategy. Rather than getting lost in the AI hype, the book brilliantly demonstrates how artificial intelligence can be harnessed as a catalyst to unlock smarter decision-making and develop deeper customer insights. By providing a framework built on strong fundamentals and supportive technology, this is an essential read for anyone looking to navigate industry complexity and build a future-ready business.

Every B2B marketer is wondering how to separate the genuine opportunity in AI from the cacophony of noise. Rather than chasing tools that will be obsolete by Christmas, this book grounds AI in the things that have always mattered in our profession, the fundamentals; deep buyer understanding, sales alignment, and disciplined decision-making. The future-readiness framework alone makes this essential reading for practitioners. Realistic, evidence-led, and refreshingly free of hype, Luan's view on 'The Future of B2B Marketing' is one I recommend we all consider.

Luan Wise does something rare - she connects rigorous marketing theory to the realities of modern practice, making this equally valuable in the classroom and the boardroom. An essential read for any marketing student stepping into a profession being reshaped by AI. It builds the critical thinking and strategic foundations that no algorithm can replace. Highly recommended.

What makes this book stand out is how grounded it is. Luan never sacrifices substance for hype, even at a time when AI feels both urgent and overwhelming. She builds a compelling case for why strong marketing fundamentals remain the foundation of everything, while giving you the clarity and confidence to embrace new tools on your own terms. A book you'll come back to again and again.

Luan Wise gets it. Trust isn't a soft metric or a nice-to-have in B2B marketing - it's the whole game. The Future of B2B Marketing makes a compelling, research-backed case for something I've cared about for years: that human voices, whether that's influencers, employees, or community members, are the most powerful growth channel available to B2B brands right now. If you work in B2B marketing and you're not already thinking seriously about how trust and influence shape buying decisions long before a prospect enters your funnel, this book is essential reading.

If I was entering B2B marketing now, this book is where I'd begin. It's not just an overview of where AI fits; it's a state-of-the-nation, showing where B2B is now, and where it's going next. Our sector has a lot of magical thinking around AI, and I'm relieved that Luan has worked hard to avoid it here. This book is full of practical, sensible, and realistic advice.
