Both TREW Marketing, a full-service content marketing firm serving B2B companies that target highly technical buyers, and GlobalSpec, a provider of data-driven industrial marketing solutions designed to help companies promote products and grow businesses, understand the industrial marketer's need to make informed decisions on resources – including people, time, and budget – to deliver maximum ROI. By discovering what type of information technical audiences want, and when and where they're looking for it – marketers can better reach, influence, and engage with their intended audiences.

The 2022 State of Marketing for Engineers Research Report summarizes the survey results of more than 800 engineers and technical professionals from a variety of industries, including manufacturing, engineering services, automotive, energy, consumer electronics, electronic components, semiconductor, and aerospace/defense.

The survey asks questions to monitor trends, as well as questions that take a deeper dive into particular channels and buying behaviors. This year's research examines valued sales behavior, measures LinkedIn interaction, and asks new questions about webinar and podcast engagement.

Key findings include:

• Engineers value a company's technical expertise and responsiveness over price and company values
• 83 percent of engineers are willing to fill out a form in exchange for technical content
• 73 percent of engineers listen to work-related podcasts throughout their week, a 33% YOY increase
• Engineers prefer YouTube and LinkedIn over other social platforms
