Writer's picture: Brandy Alvarado-MirandaBrandy Alvarado-Miranda

We’ve heard the phrase, “Content is King”, and for our digital signage clients, that


may mean one thing, but for us marketers it takes on a whole other meaning. Creating content is all good, but how you use it is key. For us, demand generation marketing is our methodology for creating content with a strategic focus to build awareness and interest in a product or service, nurturing leads, and driving conversions. Its effectiveness lies in its ability to blend data-driven strategies with engaging, tailored content, making it highly effective for generating both buzz and qualified leads.


Key Reasons Demand Generation Excels

  1. Holistic Approach:

    Demand generation incorporates all stages of the buyer's journey, from awareness to decision, ensuring sustained engagement with the audience.


  2. Data-Driven Targeting:

    Leveraging advanced analytics tools and platforms like HubSpot, Marketo, and Salesforce, demand generation allows precise targeting of the right audience with personalized messaging.


  3. Integrated Channels:

    It employs a mix of inbound and outbound marketing strategies (e.g., content marketing, email campaigns, social media, and paid ads) to amplify reach and engagement.


  4. Qualified Lead Nurturing:

    Unlike lead generation alone, demand generation focuses on building relationships, educating prospects, and nurturing leads, resulting in higher-quality prospects. This is what makes your potential clients “sticky”, as we like to say.
