One of the biggest challenges for companies of all sizes is demand generation. Distinct from lead generation, which is to capture pent-up demand, demand generation integrates a variety of tactics to create new interest in your products and services.
Many companies outsource demand generation services because these programs are robust and require tremendous skill, focus and diligence. If you’re shopping for a demand generation agency, there are a few specific aspects you should look for, including:
- Are they full service? Meaning, can they cast a wide net of marketing tactics to generate momentum toward a big-picture strategy?
- Are they collaborative? When it comes to demand generation, you want to work with an agency that takes time to understand your brand, products and services and produce marketing programs that capture your unique voice. This step requires research and collaboration.
- Do they have street cred? If you want to know how an agency’s demand generation services have held up in the past, check out their portfolio.
