By powering the largest content-centric lead generation platform, NetLine is uniquely positioned to deliver real-time B2B content engagement information with unrivaled insights. Supported by this first-party buyer-engagement activity, the 2020 Report arms marketers with pertinent and practical insights to make real-world decisions.

Compared to last year's report, half of all job levels saw an increase in consumption time relative to the Consumption Gap — the span of time between initial content request and consumption. While it is not a complete increase across the board, this trend reverts back to what NetLine observed in its 2018 Consumption Report, which showed an increase of time to consume content. In addition, days between additional content requests rose again, slightly, for the 3rd consecutive year, continuing to emphasize the need for marketers to have a greater impact with each engagement.

In this volume, NetLine's research revealed dozens of remarkable observations into the direct behaviors of B2B buyers. Here are a few key highlights:
  • 66% of all active B2B professionals are at or above the Manager level, illuminating the curiosity of Senior-level employees.
  • Senior Directors are the fastest job level to consume content requested.
  • Both C-Suite and Executive VPs employees took 16% longer to consume content requested.
  • Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the best days of the week to reach B2B audiences.
CEO and Founder of NetLine Corporation, Robert Alvin, lauds the company's ability to analyze more than 4 million first-party leads to better inform B2B marketers. "In operating the largest B2B Buyer Engagement platform on the web, where first-party users are constantly engaging with and consuming business and technical content pieces, NetLine is in a one-of-a-kind position to understand what audiences truly want," Alvin says. "By producing the only at-scale resource available, we're providing B2B marketers with fully-permissioned data they can depend on to create their own successful lead generation campaigns."
