Evolution of Marketing and Sales Webinar hosted by Sparks Grove

ATLANTA, Dec. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Strategic marketing and creative agency, Sparks Grove, a division of global consultancy North Highland; along with its research partner Econsultancy, will host a free webinar on Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2013 at noon. The webinar "The Reinvention of B2B Marketing," will present findings from their recent study on B2B marketing and provide information about how to achieve true partnerships within your organization. Registration is free and available here.

Rob Sherrell, Vice President of Marketing at Sparks Grove, will be joined by guest speaker Stefan Tornquist, Econsultancy's Vice President of Research for the U.S., for an interactive and live web event.

"The marketing landscape is constantly evolving, and while companies recognize this, our study found that they aren't implementing necessary changes to be successful within the current marketplace," said Sherrell.

Webinar attendees will learn how to identify the value of a true partnership model as well as:

• The four types of B2B organizations and how to self-classify your company
• The impact of partnership on growth and performance
• The characteristics of a true partnership with sales
• The functions marketing must own to be successful
• The first change or improvement to make to reinvent your marketing organization

"More than half of the B2B companies we surveyed voiced a commitment to reinventing marketing to adapt to a new environment," said Tornquist. "It's imperative for these companies to fully understand the value and structure of a true partnership between their sales and marketing departments to avoid being disillusioned by a false partnership."
