Gagner la confiance des décideurs IT : transformer l’attention en véritable influence
Learn more
Dans un environnement marketing saturé et de plus en plus complexe, un constat s’impose : la confiance ne s’achète pas, elle se construit. Les campagnes massives, l’achat d’espace et les contenus standardisés ne suffisent plus pour capter l’attention des décideurs IT. Pire, ces méthodes peuvent même affaiblir l’image de marque.
Les sites d’information spécialisés comme LeMagIT se sont, depuis des années, bâti une véritable crédibilité auprès des acheteurs IT. Une crédibilité qui leur permet non seulement d’attirer leur attention, mais aussi d’influencer leurs décisions.
Lors de ce webinaire, Valéry Marchive (Rédacteur en chef, LeMagIT) et David Casataneira (Country Manager France, Informa TechTarget) partageront sur :
- La manière dont les sites d’information gagnent et maintiennent la confiance des décideurs IT.
- Ce que les marketeurs B2B peuvent apprendre pour créer des liens authentiques et durables.
- Comment relier crédibilité éditoriale et signaux d’activités pour cibler et engager efficacement des prospects prêts à passer à l’action, même dans un univers saturé de contenus générés par l’IA.
Découvrez comment replacer la confiance et l’influence au cœur de vos stratégies marketing IT.

Building Trust with B2B Tech Buyers to Turn Attention into Influence
Learn more
Amid the increased complexity marketers are confronting, it’s critical to remember the golden rule of influence: you must be invited in. Flooding channels, buying reach and pushing content doesn’t earn attention – let alone trust – and if anything, those methods can be counterproductive. Meanwhile, publishers have spent decades building credibility with B2B tech buyers – and that trust turns attention into influence.
Hear Bryan Glick (Editor-in-Chief, Computer Weekly) and Brent Boswell (EVP, International, Informa TechTarget) unpack how publishers earn the trust marketers struggle to buy – and how that trust drives real commercial results. They’ll share what B2B marketers can learn from publishers about building and nurturing authentic connections, separating useful AI information from excessive noise, and using editorial credibility combined with data-driven insights to target and engage buyers ready to act.

Mindset Match: How Trusted Context Increases Advertising Attention
Learn more
In the modern attention economy, not all attention is created equal. Multiple expert studies reveal advertising served in context (directly aligned to the content on-page) on trusted media platforms captures a more valuable type of attention — increasing memorability, boosting brand awareness, and uplifting share of voice by up to 65%.
The power of context has been long-known. But savvy marketers are recognizing its renewed value as buyers increasingly turn to independent media and third-party experts to self-educate and validate. Join our seasoned pros from Informa TechTarget to learn how to play into user psychology and effectively leverage context to get more ROI out of your advertising investment.
