Evolving Trends in Marketing to Technical Audiences

A few key findings in the research report on in-person events, search, and industry experts include:

• 55% of engineers plan to attend in-person events this year at the same rate or more than they did pre-pandemic (see pages 27-28 for more about reasons for this change and how technical audiences prioritize events).
• While searching online, 43% of engineers filter through at least 5 pages of search results to find the information they're looking for (see pages 8-9 for more about search and ad preferences).
• 84% of engineers turn to some sort of expert or pundit in the industry to stay up to date on trends, hear trusted opinions, or evaluate vendors or products (see page 21-24 for more detail and respondents' favorite influencers).
