Demand Generation vs Demand Capture: How to Balance Your Marketing Strategy
In this episode of Unqualified Leads, we go deeper into why B2B marketing can’t just be about chasing MQLs and capturing demand. Backed by fresh studies from Forrester, Bain, Google, 6sense and Green Hat, we break down how today’s buyers behave: 70%+ of the journey is complete before they ever speak to sales, and most already have a shortlist of three vendors in mind.
We talk through what this shift means for marketing strategy, budget splits and campaign choices. We explore why demand capture alone (Google Ads, lead gen forms, gated ebooks) caps growth, and why demand generation, brand storytelling, founder-led content, educating before the search, is now the lever that creates scalable pipeline.
