Demand Gen Strategy and Measurement

By Exit Five (B2B Marketing)

Design your B2B marketing engine—channels, budget, pipeline metrics, and what to measure.

Branding

• Guides you through discovery questions to define your positioning statement
• Creates a brand voice framework with specific traits and example sentences
• Provides checklists for naming, taglines, logo requirements, and visual direction
• Generates a full brand guidelines document with colors, typography, and usage rules
• Runs quality checks to ensure your brand is distinctive and applicable across channels

Demand Gen Strategy and Measurement

• Explains how to split budget between brand-building (the 95% not ready to buy) and performance (the 5% in-market now)
• Helps you define the right metrics—shifting from MQLs to pipeline value and qualified opportunities
• Guides channel selection and attribution models so you know what's working and what's not
• Shows how to align marketing structure with your actual go-to-market motion (inbound, outbound, or partner-led)
• Surfaces buyer psychology—trigger events, deal cycles, multi-stakeholder decisions—so your campaigns match reality
