Abstract
Purpose – This study aims to analyze the available literature on the use of digital marketing in a business-to-business (B2B) context. It identifies
gaps in the current research knowledge and proposes a research agenda for scholars and practitioners.
Design/methodology/approach – A systematic literature review has been conducted on B2B digital marketing. The various themes have been
identified on the basis of the comprehensive analysis of extant literature. Also, semi-structured interviews with B2B marketing experts were also
conducted to further refine the emerged digital marketing themes.
Findings – Although some B2B firms use digital marketing, most are unable to leverage its full benefits because of the dearth of comprehensive
research on the subject. This review provides an insight into the emerging themes by developing a collaborative conceptual framework. The review
highlights that few areas such as digital marketing communication and sales management have witnessed steady development while decision
support systems, critical success factors, electronic marketing orientation (EMO), etc., were lesser explored. Furthermore, it identifies research gaps
and highlights the emerging research themes for future researchers.
Practical implications – The collaborative framework will help organizations to align their digital marketing activities as per the changing market
dynamics such as the focus on building social media capability, EMO and value co-creation.
Originality/value – Research on the use of digital marketing by B2B firms is still at the embryonic stage. This study is a pioneering effort to review
the use of digital marketing in B2B organizations and identify research priorities for scholars and practitioners.
