Get ready to uncover the secrets behind why your marketing strategies might not be hitting the mark and learn how to turn things around!
About this Event

You’re investing time, money and energy into marketing, but if you’re honest, you’re not always sure what’s really working, what’s wasting effort, or why results feel inconsistent.

That’s a common frustration for B2B business owners. Not because the marketing is bad, but because it’s often disconnected from clear objectives, joined-up thinking and meaningful measurement.

In this 80x20 networking and learning session, Jag Panesar, founder of Xpand, will share a practical way to sense check your marketing and spot the gaps that quietly dilute results.

This isn’t about tactics, trends or doing more. It’s about understanding where ROI is being lost, and how to fix it, using a simple strategic framework you can apply to your own business straight away.

You’ll leave with clarity on:

  • Why marketing activity doesn’t automatically translate into ROI.
  • The most common gaps that stop marketing from supporting real business growth.
  • How to sense check your marketing using a simple strategic scoring approach.
  • What to prioritise next, and what to stop over-measuring.
  • One or two practical actions you can apply immediately to improve results.

As always, the session is free, informal and designed to spark useful conversations, before, during and after the learning.


What is 80×20?

80×20 is a series of events, now in its fourth year, created by Xpand, that allow you to learn about the latest in the digital marketing world while getting the chance to network with other business owners and marketing professionals.
