Dooley says, “Content marketing is a staggeringly large industry, projected to be worth roughly $413 billion by 2021. One reason for its growth, particularly in the B2B space, is that it’s cheaper to create and deploy than paid advertising.
This has led to a proliferation of content of all types and styles across every platform, device, and digitally propelled experience that consumers engage with.
In an environment that’s hyper-saturated with information, it’s not enough to create static content. These days, businesses need to take their assets to the next level so that it stands out.
That means your content must be engaging, interactive, personalized, and relevant. This can be difficult to make your asset stand out given the sheer proliferation of high-quality content available across multiple digital platforms”.

You know next to nothing about raccoons. You don’t know if they bite or scratch or spit freaky raccoon acid. You don’t know if there’s something in your garage that could be attracting them. You don’t know if they’re stealing your tools and you don’t even know if your cats are safe from their weird racoon hand-paws.
You would definitely like a way to get rid of them, but you really want to know what the hell you’re dealing with.
You are problem aware”.

Creating Successful Demand Generation Campaigns
Demand generation process helps you to bring in elements of education and brand storytelling. It helps you to inform more and more people about your products and services.
Sprout Social contributor Sarah Aboulhosn has shared a comprehensive article on building and measure successful demand generation campaigns.
Aboulhosn says, “We see the terms demand generation, lead generation and inbound marketing used interchangeably, but these strategies actually have very different focuses.
Demand generation vs. lead generation vs. inbound marketing
Demand generation differs from lead generation in a few ways. Lead generation applies when your audience recognizes that they have a problem and are actively seeking out different services or products that could provide the solution. When they find your brand, they’re already aware of the problem you’re trying to solve and ready to assess if you’re the right solution. The main goal of a lead generation campaign is to obtain a prospect’s information. You’ll use that information to nurture the relationship through the rest of the marketing funnel, ultimately selling them your product or service”.
