As B2B marketers adjust to the changes that 2023 brings, the industry continues to offer growth opportunities as well as shifts that often seen to happen so fast that they are difficult to fully appreciate. For more than two decades now, TopRank Marketing has had the please of helping a wide variety of the world's top B2B marketers and major global brands elevate and go beyond merely being competitive, to standing out from the crowd with creative and award-winning successes. In 2023 we place increased focus on elevating through intelligence, relevance, and the type of humanization that allows efforts to stand out from the increasing reach of those touched more by artificial intelligence (AI) than by human hands. In this spirit, for more than a year now we have regularly made a point of taking the time to congratulate and honor B2B marketing leaders who have recently seen career advancement. When B2B marketers take on new leadership roles, it's only natural to look for trusted resources that will help professionals in new positions hit the ground running, and TopRank Marketing is honored to have been a go-to B2B content and influencer marketing agency for so many top marketers in new leadership roles. In 2023 we are also continuing to seek out B2B technology industry influencers advancing in their careers to partner with on compelling and unique content collaborations. We offer hearty congratulations to each of the B2B marketing leaders featured in this eighth edition of B2B Marketers on the Move, and extend our thanks for sharing their insightful B2B marketing career advice.

In the move towards creating 360-degree profiles of consumers, brands should always ask themselves: “would the customer be surprised that we know this about them?”. If the answer is yes, tread carefully. However, if brands do this well, there is a future where customers will only know that they have been on a journey if they look back and see where a brand has seamlessly served them through personal, premium experiences. So data has to evolve, become smarter, more available and actionable at the point of customer experience.
A.J. Ghergich has taken a new position as Vice President of Consulting Services at Botify.
Boundaries are shifting and, in some cases, disappearing altogether. The Covid-19 pandemic, of course, has been a great accelerant.

Julia McCoy has taken a new position as Vice President of Marketing at Content at Scale.
An entrepreneur CAN become employed again! After 11 years of building my own businesses, I took a salaried, full-time VP of Marketing role at Content at Scale and I haven't had this much fun at work maybe ever – because, for the first time, I'm not responsible for everything. Just the area I truly love, which is content marketing and existing revenue growth. Please don't let society's pressure that you "can't go backwards because you've started your own thing, and now you're unemployable," stop you from a GOOD thing. That is a myth gravely hurting the ability to breathe, feel at peace, and ENJOY what you do! A "job" can actually be the vehicle and bridge you personally need to succeed at life and in your industry. For example, I could never have the kind of reach and impact I now have in the mix of thousands of use cases as Content at Scale's marketing VP.Julia has been featured in our "50 Top B2B Content Marketing Influencers To Follow in 2021 #CMWorld," "50 Content Marketing Influencers and Experts to Follow 2019 #CMWorld," "Less Is More: Time to Cut Content Bloat & Create Content Connections," "LinkedIn’s List of 24 B2B Marketers You Need to Know," and "How Marketers Can Improve the Customer Experience (And Why They Should Want To)."

Travis Flak has taken a new position as Director of Marketing at Foundry.
You must use sincerity, empathy, and active listening skills. Care about your network's careers and interests. Like their posts and share their content. Comment with "congratulations" to a job promotion, or a career move to another company. These people are your friends and need to be treated as such. They will respond in kind when they hear from you, and one day you'll be in a position to pay it forward.Travis is a TopRank Marketing alumni.
