The BI powerhouse Statista and AI-first agency OH-SO Digital explore the state of AI search in their B2B Content Marketing Trend Study 2026 — the eighth edition of the annual study, based on responses from 252 B2B content marketers across DACH, the UK, and the US.

The gap is clear: awareness is high, operational maturity is not.

Create

Organise
