Syndicate marketing (B2B) is a cooperative marketing program for companies with similar target audiences and goals. Usually combining at least 3 individual companies or more. 

A group of companies or corporations that share interests in a market but are not directly competitors. These groups are known as syndicates.

How does syndicate marketing (B2B) work?

It usually starts with an initiative from an industry pioneer or leader who decides to organize an event or exhibition(Expo) to promote a mutual achievement with key partners - participating as event exhibitors.

To spread a message about success stories and achievement together mutually benefits and compliments all the companies who are participating in the event or expo.

It’s a truly amazing way to increase brand awareness, find new clients and partnerships through good works you have already done.
