Demand Generation Management

According to Wikipedia, demand generation is “the focus of targeted marketing programs to drive awareness and interest in a company’s products and/or services”. HubSpot defines it as programs that “help your organization reach new markets, promote new product features, build consumer buzz, generate PR, and re-engage existing customers”.

Let’s synthesize those definitions: Demand generation is a data-driven marketing strategy that uses technology to ensure that potential customers are aware of and are interested in your company’s offerings. An effective demand generation program takes into account every interaction in the customer’s journey, from an anonymous webpage or store visitor to a satisfied customer.

 

The Demand Generation Manager is responsible for the following:

      1. Develop and execute multi-channel campaigns (short- and long-term) to generate leads and keep the sales pipeline flowing
      2. Lead A/B testing across all relevant channels
      3. Monitor and optimize programs and campaigns
      4. Develop customer personas, and understand their buying habits
      5. Know the business’s brand and its products from end to end
      6. Assist with content development, with an eye toward targeting consumers in all phases of the consumer lifecycle
      7. Work as a team with digital marketing staff and other departments (including sales and content) to design and strengthen strategies
      8. Identify untapped markets and new advertising methods to enhance business growth
      9. Assure buy-in and budgetary support from top leadership and relevant stakeholders 
      10. Measure and analyze marketing campaign success
      11. Deliver performance analysis reports to relevant leadership and other interested departments
