Best of LinkedIn: Channel Marketing CW 37/38
Description
We curate most relevant posts about Channel Marketing on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways.
This edition focuses on the evolving landscape of B2B partner ecosystems and channel strategy, highlighting the need for structure, clarity, and strategic alignment to drive revenue and growth. Multiple experts stress that traditional, spreadsheet-driven partner programs are failing, advocating instead for Partner-Led Growth motions that integrate partners into the core Go-to-Market (GTM) strategy through co-selling, co-marketing, and Partner Enablement. A significant theme is the crucial role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in transforming partnerships, from automating compliance and win wires to creating AI-native solutions, especially within hyperscaler and marketplace-first environments like Microsoft and AWS. Finally, contributors address operational challenges, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive attribution models beyond simple sourced/influenced metrics, recognizing the full partner value across the customer journey, and securing the necessary resources and leadership alignment to scale successfully.
