Hong Kong, Hong Kong S.A.R. Feb 7, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - The B2B'26 Marketing Whitepaper for Greater China has officially launched, bringing together independent perspectives, insights and tips for CMOs, marketing teams and service providers operating in the B2B space in or connected with China. The report builds on the success of B2B’25 and features insights from nine leading industry experts. Topics include public relations, lead generation, industrial branding, creativity, next-gen B2B agency model, historical and AI perspectives, as well as market-specific guidance on Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
Co-editor Barry Colman explains: “Companies need to find new markets and new customers. Marketing teams need to impact sales and ROI more. Agencies are struggling to prove they add value. Everyone is under pressure. And because it’s China then people need to work at China-speed. People need new ideas. What works in Europe may not work in China, and for Chinese companies looking to expand, what works in China may not work in Europe. This report is designed to help.”
Co-editor Mike Golden continues: “The report shows that in order to succeed in the Year of the Horse, B2B marketers can’t afford to wait for perfect conditions underfoot but must move and adjust and at quite a fast pace. 2026 will be a year which re-defines many aspects of B2B success for both companies and professionals. This report is a must read for anyone looking to stay ahead of the field”
