B2B needs Don Draper. We all need to remember the marketing lessons that Don Draper intuitively knew. B2B marketing has become repetitive – there’s an overfocus on the rational, on sales activation, and short-term goals. B2B marketers have forgotten the human element of advertising that Don Draper always looked for, the importance of finding the emotional truth that should drive every campaign. And we’ve forgotten the one thing that Don Draper never did; to be successful, you need to stand out. Brands don’t become famous by staying in the crowd.
