USING CONTENT MARKETING TO GENERATE DEMAND, CREATE NEW AUDIENCES

August 14, 2019

Content—and how brands use it to interact with buyers at all stages of the engagement journey—has fundamentally reshaped every business’ go-to-market strategy. This shift has been particularly challenging for “top-of-the-funnel” demand generation marketers, most of who are under tremendous pressure to produce results. One study found that 70% of marketers surveyed expect their demand generation budgets to increase in 2018, with one-third expecting them to increase by more than 20%.1 Of course, generating demand is the job of marketing writ large.

Influencer Marketing Benchmark Report 2020

whitePaper | February 15, 2020

Respondents spent 47% of their influencer budget on micro-influencers (compared to just 23% for celebrity influencers).
