One of the great things about Demand Gen is that there isn't a set path into it. For example, I started my career in sales and account management before transitioning over to marketing.

Own all of the lead generation because no one else can do it besides DG. Have a stake in opportunity creation (% of your pay with accelerators), pipeline generation, and inbound revenue. I would not own organic social media and only ask to own SEO if you have a dedicated head or agency for it......Read More

* I'd think about how you can leverage agency and contractor resources to get more out of your small team. * Then I'd also look at the maturity of the marketing program: * Do you have a decent database of leads, and the goal is activating that database and driving MQLs and SQLs? If......Read More
