That information is typically in the form of research — either from surveys, owned data, or by analyzing data from other sources. According to [Mantis Research](https://mantisresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/FINAL-State-of-Original-Research.pdf), half of all B2B marketers have published original research, with [survey-based research](https://www.jonespr.net/lp-survey-development-process-template) topping the list of sources.   The benefits of using research as the basis for B2B marketing content include: - Increased website traffic (cited by 74% of marketers) - More content ideas (70%) - Higher quality content ideas (67%) - Social shares (63%)   Those figures, and the success of research as a basis for marketing content, is no surprise to us. We’ve been working with clients, including [West](https://www.jonespr.net/lp-case-study-west), for years to put these kinds of surveys and content to work. Check these blog posts on how survey data has translated into marketing content, leads and sales: - [Client Q&A: How West Leveraged Research Into Compelling Content](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/client-qa-how-west-leveraged-research-into-compelling-content) - [Client Success: Complete Content Packages Fuel West Marketing Strategy](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/client-success-complete-content-packages-fuel-west-marketing-strategy)   The infographic below lists a dozen different ways you can use research in your B2B marketing content.
