“An honest broker”

The vision for Propolis was a community that people would go to when they had a specific marketing problem that needed solving. Marketing teams and individuals would purchase a subscription to Propolis, which would serve as an ‘honest broker’, connecting marketers with experts and peers to solve each other’s problem and providing them with a virtual space to meet and discuss their work. For example the ‘Call an Expert’ sessions mean that an outsider expert perspective is available to offer solutions to challenges in a particular field.

Propolis received strong early feedback from members. One encouraging metric was the high level of stickiness reported from the community’s launch, which indicated that visitors were spending longer on the site and not leaving shortly after entering.

With Propolis, B2B Marketing are cementing their position as a go-to resource for B2B marketers, placing themselves at the intersection of intelligence and community to raise the bar in the industry.
