In this extract, Alice de Courcy (ex-CMO at Cognism) breaks down how she shifted from lead gen to demand creation and built a content engine that directly drives pipeline:
→ 25 demo requests to close one deal vs. 100 content leads. The math that killed their entire gated strategy
→ How to transition from lead gen to demand creation without going cold turkey and while keeping investors happy
→ The 4 content buckets, the distribution engine, and why "just ungate your content" is not a strategy
