2010 B2Bento Top 10

  • Asuthosh

top 10About an year ago, a bunch of us at GetIT Comms decided to experiment – experiment with something we had been hearing a lot and advising our clients about. A site to share ideas (ours and from the best out there in B2B marketing), practical how-to’s and the occasional rant, feature some of the brilliant marketers we’ve had the privilege to work with, and above all lend a sorely lacking but much sought-after distinctly Asian tone to the coverage of B2B marketing. In short, walk our talk.

That experiment is what you are reading now – B2Bento. We are pretty pleased with the results so far. We made some amazing friends across the B2B-“marketosphere” across the globe, kept up with the latest thinking, covered some of the tentpole marketing events in Asia, and projected a different “more-than-just-an-agency” voice to our operations.

We’ve had our dull months, and frenzied posts, and out of all that we select, in no particular order, the top 10 posts of B2Bento 2010.
