Demand generation is more than running ads
Ads are only one part of it. Demand generation means deciding who to target, what to say, which channels to use and how leads get handed to sales. It also means checking every month what is actually turning into pipeline, and shifting budget toward it.
In a typical engagement we own the marketing planning and outreach. We meet weekly, agree on priorities, and then do the work: campaigns on the channels that fit your buyers, content that supports sales, nurture emails, tracking and reporting. You stay focused on the product and on closing deals.

Questions about Demand Generation
How is this different from hiring an ad agency?
An ad agency runs campaigns. Demand generation covers the plan, the channels, the content and the handoff to sales, all tied to pipeline.
How involved do we need to be?
A weekly call, quick feedback on campaigns and access to your CRM and sales team.
What if we have not found product market fit yet?
Then we start there, with customer interviews and small offer tests, before spending on campaigns.
How long before we see pipeline?
Paid channels often produce early conversations in the first month. Building a predictable pipeline usually takes a full quarter.
