Charles Caleb Colton, an English writer in the early 1800s, said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It is in Colton’s spirit that we use donuts to explain the many facets of B2B marketing communications.
Derived from Doug Ray’s “Social Media Explained” photo which he shared on Twitter earlier this year, we put together a B2B marketing version. We hope you find our explanations as entertaining (and insightful) as the original intended. Many thanks to Doug for the inspiration!
