Driving Demand: Transforming B2B Marketing to Meet the Needs of the Modern Buyer

Driving Demand serves as a guide book for CMOs and marketing leaders who want to change, but simply are perplexed by how to change. It is not enough to simply speak about 'change management' in an organization. Change management must begin with a common demand process that is first fully planned for via a blueprint that provides the details of how people, process, content, technology and KPIs will be aligned throughout the organization to ensure a common demand generation approach that is federated across the organization.

In this book, Hidalgo provides a prescriptive roadmap that organizations can follow to ensure that the changes that are made in aligning people, process, content and technology become part of the DNA of their organization. This ensures that true transformation occurs – doing things differently instead of just doing different things.

As most B2B marketers lack the training and experience to adjust to the changing world around them and are either self-taught or learn as they go, this book highlights these features specifically for them:

A clear roadmap and framework on how B2B organizations can implement change management and transform their demand generation

Current research from industry experts and thought leaders that demonstrates the need for this change

The potential pitfalls that can occur within an organization as a demand process is developed

Organizational models that should be implemented to ensure demand process is adopted throughout the enterprise
