Brand Gravity — Rethinking B2B Growth in a Funnel-Free Era
Published on: June 24, 2025

On June 24, marketing strategist Lisa Cole releasedBrand Gravity: How to Create Magnetic Pull in the Age of Buying Groups, challenging traditional funnel-based thinking with a fresh, research-backed model for B2B growthdemandgenreport.com+1rbj.net+1globenewswire.com.

Core Premise

  • B2B buying is no longer linear; it's collective, digital-first, and self-navigated.
  • Brand Gravity proposes a pull-based model—centered on magnetic content, credibility, and community.

Why This Matters

  • Traditional milestones (MQL > SQL > opportunity) are outdated.
  • Momentum comes from trust, not touch counts.
  • Cohort-based, brand-led growth becomes essential in complex buying groups.

Strategic Implications

  • Build experiences, not campaigns—focus on collective intelligence over individual lead grabs.
  • Evaluate content by its ability to nourish communities and nurture intent, not click volume.
  • Rethink attribution—credit gravity, not gates.

Your Playbook:

  1. Replace traditional funnel dashboards with cohort retention tracking.
  2. Develop community hubs—virtual roundtables, shared insights, and peer forums.
  3. Measure brand pull: referrals, return visits, and group engagement metrics.

Our Point of View:
Brand Gravity offers something radical: a mindset shift. Not more funnels. Not more forms. Instead: deeper pull, bigger trust. That's the kind of B2B growth Pineapple View Media champions.
