This document discusses planning B2B lead generation campaigns and leveraging content personalization. It recommends driving campaigns by objectives, focusing on buyers, offering relevant content, identifying program gaps, measuring performance, and leveraging personalization. Personalization involves segmenting prospects based on what they want to know, allowing them to manage email preferences, and streaming emails accordingly. Dynamic web content can also be personalized for prospects.
