21.9.2023 11:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Forrester (Nasdaq: FORR) will recognise Keysight Technologies, as this year’s Return On Integration Honours winner at its B2B Summit EMEA, held October 9-11, 2023, in London, UK, and digitally. Keysight Technologies is being recognised for aligning its marketing, sales, and product functions to maximise customer value. Additionally, Forrester will celebrate Programmes Of The Year winners for outstanding achievements within specific functions of marketing, sales, and product: NTT Ltd. for developing a global account-based marketing center of excellence; and Dun & Bradstreet for transforming a regional marketing function into a centralised marketing hub.
Forrester’s B2B Summit EMEA is the premier event for B2B marketing, sales, and product leaders to explore and learn new ideas, pragmatic frameworks, and compelling data to fuel their customer-obsessed growth engines. At the event, honourees will present how they have grown revenue, accelerated time to market, and launched integrated global campaigns to achieve desired business outcomes.
This year’s Return On Integration Honours winner, Keysight Technologies, a leading provider of design, emulation, and test solutions, aligned their global sales, product, and marketing teams with a unified campaign strategy. During its keynote session, Keysight will share how cross-functional alignment enabled the firm to deliver consistent messaging, improve the quality of its leads, and drive efficient digital programmes across the globe.
“We worked closely with Forrester analysts to improve our overall campaign planning process,” said Sarah Calnan, senior director, global marketing demand center at Keysight. “As a result of this collaboration, we improved the targeting, messaging, and execution of our campaigns, while also increasing alignment with our sales and product organisations. Using Forrester’s Change Management and Global Demand Centre Implementation models, we combined our marketing communications and digital teams into a global virtual team. This approach has created a culture of knowledge-sharing and learning across teams — as well as improved speed of execution and the ability to measure and optimise our impact.”
These Programmes Of The Year winners will also share their success stories on stage at B2B Summit EMEA:
- NTT Ltd. will discuss how they developed a global account-based marketing centre of excellence that boosted alignment between sales and marketing, ultimately driving measurable improvements.
- Dun & Bradstreet will share their transformation journey and how they evolved from a siloed operation focused primarily on local delivery in market to a centralised function developing strategic campaigns customisable for both local and global markets.
“Our Return On Integration Honours winners and Programmes Of The Year winners are trailblazing organisations that tackle challenges head on to improve business outcomes,” said Paul Ferron, VP and research director at Forrester. “We look forward to hearing their success stories onstage at this year’s B2B Summit EMEA.”

European Wealth Firms Build Private Markets Capability Faster Than They Communicate It, Peregrine Report Finds20.10.2026 11:15:00 EEST | Press release
Europe's leading wealth managers have built genuine private markets capability but most have yet to explain it to the clients they built it for, according to The Wealth 30, a new report from Peregrine Communications. The study analyses how 30 leading UK and European wealth managers and private banks position private markets. It concludes that communication, not product, is now the biggest barrier to differentiation in the wealth channel. Capability outpaces explanation 73% of the Wealth 30 engage in private markets yet only 40% operate a dedicated landing page explaining what private markets are, why they matter and how clients can access them. Just 23% combine explainers, a destination and repeatable house-view content. Swiss private banks set the benchmark, supported by house views, outlooks and heritage narratives. Pictet, UBP, Lombard Odier and Julius Baer all back their positioning with repeatable insight content, and Coutts is the clearest UK example. UK firms more often communic
Infobip and Yamaha Power Conversational Customer Engagement in Indonesia’s Automotive Sector20.10.2026 11:00:00 EEST | Press release
Global AI-first cloud communications platform Infobip strengthens its collaboration with Yamaha Indonesia Motor Manufacturing (YIMM) to transform customer engagement through WhatsApp-powered conversational experiences designed to drive stronger personalization and faster customer interactions.

For more than two years, Infobip has supported Yamaha Indonesia in building connected customer engagement strategies that integrate WhatsApp across the company’s wider digital ecosystem, including its websites, social media platforms, and customer touchpoints. The collaboration reflects the
Finsei Selects Thredd to Power New Debit Offering20.10.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release
Thredd, the AI-first issuer processing platform, today announced a new partnership with Finsei, a London-based payments company, to power the processing infrastructure behind Finsei’s new Mastercard debit offering. The partnership reflects a shared focus on simplifying an increasingly complex payments environment. Businesses operating across markets often rely on multiple providers to manage accounts, payments, foreign exchange, cards and expenses. Finsei is designed to bring those capabilities together, while Thredd provides the underlying payment technology and infrastructure needed to deliver a secure, digital-first debit experience at scale. At launch, physical and virtual cards will be available, followed by both Apple Pay and Google Pay. “Businesses increasingly expect their financial tools to work together rather than operate as a collection of disconnected services,” said Jim McCarthy, CEO of Thredd. “Finsei is building around that expectation, bringing payments, currency manag
BRG Survey Finds 71% of Competition Lawyers Say Global Antitrust Policies Grew More Fragmented over Past Year20.10.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release
Global antitrust enforcement is pulling apart along national lines, with 71% of senior competition attorneys reporting that policy became more fragmented across jurisdictions over the past 12 months, according to BRG’s inaugural Global Antitrust & Competition Report. Nearly four in five (78%) also cite cross-border antitrust requirements as a significant or recurring challenge. The report draws on a survey of 155 senior antitrust and competition attorneys across the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific (APAC) and in-depth interviews with 18 leading lawyers. It also finds that about 60% of respondents expect antitrust enforcement to expand in scope and intensity over the next 12 months. “Domestic politics and geopolitical considerations increasingly influence the application of competition law across jurisdictions”, said David Parker, a managing director at BRG. “As a result, deal timelines and risk assessments often now have to be built jurisdiction by jurisdiction, from the earliest stage of

Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TOKYO: 6981) (ISIN: JP3914400001) announces the development of the world’s smallest* 008004-inch size (0.25mm × 0.125mm) NTC thermistor, the NCU01 series.
