Revenue Marketing and Demand Generation: Why Predictable Pipeline Still Eludes Most B2B Teams
The 2025 State of B2B Marketing Report by Demandbase and Harris Poll* found that disconnected data and inconsistent channel performance are now the most significant barriers to growth. Many leaders reported that their revenue marketing function is not meeting expectations and that this gap is slowing their ability to scale. Demand Gen Report’s 2025 Year in Review also noted that traditional demand tactics are producing diminishing returns and that teams are struggling to prove impact with confidence.
Channel Performance, Efficiency, ROI, and Effectiveness Are Under Greater Scrutiny
Budgets are tighter, and buying committees are larger. Leadership expects every channel to demonstrate a measurable contribution to revenue. Many organizations report inconsistent performance across paid, organic, and partner channels. Cost per acquisition is rising, and ROI is difficult to validate. These challenges often point to deeper issues in revenue marketing strategy, funnel design, and operational execution. When channel performance becomes unpredictable, it is usually a sign that the demand engine needs structural support rather than more campaigns.
How to Know When Your Business Needs Outside Support for Revenue Marketing?
Pipeline coverage rises and falls without a clear pattern.
Campaigns generate leads but not qualified opportunities.
Sales and marketing disagree on what a good lead looks like.
Attribution is unclear or inconsistent across teams.
Leadership cannot see a clear connection between spend and revenue.
Your team executes tasks but lacks strategic direction.
These signals point to a demand engine that needs structural support rather than more activity.

Prioritize experience across the full lifecycle rather than campaign execution alone.
Confirm fluency in Salesforce, attribution models, and funnel analytics.
