It’s not an easy time to be a b2b marketer. The sector is grappling with several challenges right now. Acquisition costs are rising across the industry. And everybody is trying the same tactics, which is ironic if you’re trying to stand out from the crowd.

Is blocking terrorist content on social media achievable?
It must have been a challenging week this week for bosses at the big social media companies. As The Economist were preparing their cover story, ‘How to tame the tech titans‘, the US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation convened a hearing titled “Terrorism and Social Media: #IsBigTechDoingEnough?” to “…examine the steps social media platforms are taking to combat the spread of extremist propaganda over the Internet.”
The BBC asked Radiate B2B co-founder Mike Weston to join the BBC Business Briefing and discuss the impact on social media in the future. If you’re in the UK, you can view the interview over the next four weeks on BBC iPlayer here.
