Living campaign-to-campaign to make demand generation ends meet is a way of life for many B2B marketers. While there will always be a place for a burst of demand around a campaign, is this the best vehicle to drive consistent predictable growth for your company?

Your sales and marketing resources operate on a consistent schedule, demand for your products and services ideally should align to your capacity to act on that demand. Turn your business into a growth machine by using channels that are always driving demand, and techniques to consistently turn that demand into activity.

Join BrightTALK’s CMO, David Pitta, and Programs Manager Olivia Dassler as they discuss innovative channels and techniques for perpetual demand and business growth.

Rich content is a hugely powerful demand generation resource, but developing that content is often resource intensive in itself. To get the greatest mileage out of your content, a thoroughly planned promotional strategy should be considered at the outset.

From atomization to follow-up content and additional steps prospects can take to advance the sales process, to the promotional emails ahead of your initiative, all stages should be considered.

In this webinar learn best practices to get more bang for your content buck through mindful planning and tips to improve any campaign.

Webinars are a proven tactic for driving engaged, qualified leads but are often executed poorly or without the audience in mind.
