Demand generation,
built as one pipeline machine.

Paid, content, email and events rarely fail on their own; they fail when nobody agreed what a qualified lead even is. We run every channel against one pipeline goal, with MQL and SQL definitions settled before launch and a handoff sales actually trusts.

In one answer

PixelCrayons' demand generation service builds one multi-channel programme aimed squarely at pipeline, not brand awareness. Paid, content, email and events run against a shared MQL and SQL definition, agreed with sales before the first campaign launches. Lead scoring runs on real buying signals, handoff carries a named owner and an SLA, and reporting tracks each funnel stage, not just top-of-funnel volume. Direct for brands, white-label for agencies.

Where the work happens

Every programme, in writing

What the demand generation
work actually covers.

One multi-channel programme, one pipeline goal

Paid, content, email and events planned in the same room, against the same target, instead of four suppliers each optimising their own channel in isolation. A webinar feeds the email sequence that follows it; paid covers the terms content hasn't won yet. The channel mix is a decision, not four separate ones.

Ongoing

MQL and SQL definitions, agreed before launch

What counts as a marketing-qualified lead and what counts as a sales-qualified lead are written down and signed off by both teams before a single campaign runs. Without that agreement, marketing reports volume sales doesn't recognise, and sales reports pipeline marketing can't trace back to a channel.

First

Lead scoring built on real buying signals

Scoring weights the signals that actually predict a sale, job title, company fit, the pages someone returns to, not just a form fill or a newsletter open. A score that moves on vanity engagement sends sales chasing leads that were never going to buy.

Ongoing

A sales handoff with an owner and an SLA

Every qualified lead lands with a named owner and a response window, not a shared inbox nobody's job it is to check. The handoff moment is where most demand programmes quietly lose leads, so it gets a written rule rather than a hope.

Included

Funnel-stage reporting, not just top-of-funnel volume

The weekly review tracks leads, MQLs, SQLs, opportunities and closed revenue as separate stages with separate conversion rates, so a channel that produces volume but no MQLs gets caught early instead of celebrated in a monthly summary.

Weekly

Channel mix revisited against what produced pipeline

Budget moves toward the channel that produced qualified pipeline, not the one that was easiest to spend against. That review happens on the same cadence as the funnel-stage reporting, so a channel doesn't coast on a good first month.

Monthly

First 30 days

Audit to a
reporting cadence.

Days 1 to 3

Pipeline and funnel audit

Every existing channel, lead source and handoff step reviewed, alongside whatever MQL or SQL definitions already exist (or don't). Where leads currently drop between marketing and sales gets named specifically, not gestured at.

Week 1

A priced programme plan

A written plan within 48 hours: the channel mix, the MQL and SQL definitions for sign-off, the scoring model and the handoff rule, itemised and priced before anything launches.

Weeks 2 to 4

First channel launches

The first campaigns go live across the agreed channels, sequenced against the same pipeline goal rather than switched on all at once. Tracking and lead scoring are verified against real form fills before volume ramps up.

Month 2+

The reporting cadence

A weekly funnel-stage review in Prism: leads through to closed revenue, by channel. Channel-mix decisions get revisited against what actually produced pipeline, not what produced the most activity.

Paid and search, run as one pipeline roadmap.

The published record doesn't track MQLs, SQLs or a stated pipeline value, so this page won't borrow those as a demand-generation credential. What it does show is the coordination a demand programme depends on: paid media and organic search planned and reported as one roadmap, instead of two suppliers each guessing at the other's plan. One shared goal, channel spend judged against it rather than against its own dashboard, is the same discipline a multi-channel demand programme runs on. Revenue grew 340% in 7 months.

Is this the same as B2B marketing?

No. B2B marketing is the broader practice: positioning, account-based marketing and channel choice for a longer buying cycle. This page is the narrower discipline underneath it, the pipeline-building machinery itself, which can run for B2B or B2C work even though it's most associated with B2B.

Questions

Frequently
asked.

Lead generation is one step: getting a name and an email address into a form. Demand generation owns the whole pipeline, from first touch through a marketing-qualified lead, a sales-qualified lead, an opportunity and a closed deal, with a defined handoff between marketing and sales at each step. A programme that only reports form fills is doing lead generation and calling it demand generation.

Our B2B marketing page covers the broader practice: positioning, account-based marketing, and the channel choices that suit a longer B2B buying cycle. This page is the narrower discipline underneath that practice, the specific machinery of multi-channel demand programmes, lead scoring and the sales handoff. Demand generation can run for B2B or B2C work, though it's most associated with B2B, which is why the two pages sit side by side rather than one folding into the other.

No, and be wary of anyone who does: pipeline depends on your market, your sales team's follow-up and your offer, none of which an agency controls alone. What we commit to is the machinery: MQL and SQL definitions agreed with sales, lead scoring built on real signals, a handoff with an owner and an SLA, and funnel-stage reporting every week, so you can see exactly where pipeline is building or stalling and act on it.

An MQL (marketing-qualified lead) crosses an agreed threshold of fit and engagement signals, the kind of company, the kind of role, the depth of interaction with your content or campaigns. An SQL (sales-qualified lead) is confirmed by sales as a real opportunity worth working, usually after a first conversation. Both definitions are written down and signed off by marketing and sales together before a programme launches, never set unilaterally by one side.

Whichever combination fits the audience: paid search and social, content, email and lifecycle sequences, and events or webinars where a considered sale benefits from a live conversation. The channels are chosen and planned together against one pipeline goal, not run in isolation by separate teams who never compare notes.

It depends on the channel mix and the funnel stage you're starting from: a business with no MQL definition needs different groundwork than one that just needs more volume through an existing funnel. Every proposal itemises the channels, the scoring and reporting setup, and the ongoing programme, priced within 48 hours of the first call.

Ask how it defines an MQL and an SQL, and whether sales signs off on those definitions before launch. Ask who owns a qualified lead after handoff, and how fast they must respond. Ask to see funnel-stage reporting, not just form fills. A B2B demand generation agency that can't answer those is running lead generation under a bigger name.
