Demand gen

Are you playing the long game or still under pressure to "generate leads"?

If you relate to the latter, we feel you! Old habits die hard and form fills are still a key metric at a lot of companies. But with the advancements in technology and AI, listening to and building a relationship with your buying groups through marketing is well within reach. Need help making the shift? We're here to help.

Let’s reset: It’s about trust gen, not lead gen

Anyone can buy lists nowadays and your job is now to use your campaigns to generate trust. Your team needs to target those buying groups and accounts in ways that makes them want to know more about you. It’s harder to capture demand if you’re unknown.

Buyers trust candor which is why they loved Who Killed ABM

When marketing our ABM service, we could have written yet another white paper nobody sees (YAWNS, for short). But we chose to hold a creative pitch and the winning concept was a murder mystery that 78% of our target accounts engaged with because they trusted us.


Because we said what everyone was thinking: ABM’s dead because everyone mixed it up with demand gen. Best to start over. See the campaign below, and how that played out.

Case studies: A demand Jen win and a TAL that generated 75% of pipeline

Jennifer found that she didn’t have the data or team skills to run demand generation campaigns. Scott was falling further and further behind on pipeline and wanted to give ABM a try to turn it around. Read step by step how both go to where they needed to go.

Reorient your targeting to buying groups

Yes Salesforce can still track “leads.” But no, they shouldn't be your focus. Most marketers are finally seeing that long-promised success with ABM. It just took time for all those big enterprise deals to close. (Who knew? Personalization works.)

Time to take a risk

Part of building trust is daring to be different. In a webinar with the creative studio Fenwick, we talked about creative demand campaigns that worked better because they were weird. If that’s intriguing, consider that funnels are broken and to win next year, maybe rethink doing nurtures and moving to MQAs.
