B2B digital marketing for logistics companies
We help logistics companies design B2B digital marketing systems that reflect how shippers actually buy: Slowly, rationally and across multiple touchpoints in an industry where many services are increasingly commoditized.
Why B2B digital marketing is different in logistics
Most digital marketing agencies apply the same playbook to every business. The problem is that logistics is not B2C, and it doesn’t behave like SaaS either.
Logistics buying decisions involve multiple stakeholders, long sales cycles and high perceived risk. A shipper choosing a freight forwarder or a 3PL is not reacting to an they are evaluating reliability, expertise and accountability across time.
It’s not a secret that freight market is highly commoditized. Digital marketing is not about shouting louder. It’s about creating clarity, differentiation and trust before the first commercial conversation even happens.
