The imperative
Revenue Growth
The new marketing imperative
For the first time in history, any marketer can draw a straight line from their marketing efforts to the organization’s bottom-line revenue. That means marketing can finally prove its value to the organization is clear and measurable terms.
But to seize the opportunity, you need to align the marketing function with the broader revenue ecosystem. Marketers need to redefine their success by replacing the marketing-centric language of clicks and leads with the business-centric language of revenue and growth.
We can help
At DemandLab, we believe that every marketing strategy needs to begin with measurable revenue growth as its ultimate aim. We help you:
- Identify your organization’s revenue targets
- Align marketing activities with revenue expectations
- Identify the technology needed to help you scale
- Identify bottlenecks that automation can alleviate
From revenue growth to digital transformation
When the marketing mission is driven by revenue, it changes everything, from the talent you seek to the goals you set to the business units you collaborate with.
The mindset
Digital Transformation
Deliver on the promise
True digital transformation delivers on the promise marketing makes to the organization—to deliver the right message to the right person at the right time consistently across all channels.
Marketers who take on the challenge of leading digital transformation need to rethink and break through the limitations of their existing role. Because while digital transformation starts with marketing, it cascades through the whole organization. How will you enact this change? And who will you bring on board to share the journey?
We can help
Marketers are uniquely placed to lead digital transformation in their organizations. DemandLab can help you assess your current mindset, technology stack, and strategy against the requirements for digital transformation. We’ll help you:
- Integrate technology systems across all business units
- Enhance technology systems to collect customer data
- Map customer touchpoints to revenue
From digital transformation to data model
Digital transformation makes a wealth of customer and operational data available to your organization. The data model helps you facilitate the flow and realize the value of that data.
The fuel
Data Model
Data drives the growth engine
Data is the fuel that accelerates revenue generation. But data can only deliver that value when the organization collects, distributes, governs, and acts on it strategically and holistically.
The data model defines the architecture (the data you need to capture), governance (the rules by which it’s collected, stored, and shared), and analytics (the value it needs to deliver). It’s the foundation of every data-driven, customer-centric organization, enabling you to derive meaningful business insights and build engaging customer experiences.
We can help
Developing a data model involves bringing core business lines together, examining the flow of data, identifying silos, gaps, and bottlenecks, and finding ways to enrich and improve data assets. We’ll help you:
- Audit your existing data management processes
- Identify data deficits, silos, and bottlenecks
- Create your Data Dictionary and Lexicon
- Identify new data efficiencies, enrichments, and analytic value
- Develop a data model that supports the customer journey
From data model to blueprint
The data model sets the requirements for extracting optimal value from your data resources. The blueprint identifies the people, processes, and technologies required to support the data model and fulfill the organization’s revenue potential.
The master strategy
Blueprint
Map a path to success
Once you have developed a model that governs data collection, distribution, and use, you’re ready to build your blueprint.
Through a collaborative process that includes risk-taking, brainstorming, and consensus-building, input from the organization’s leadership level is synthesized and distilled so that it reflects shared priorities and meets budget and timeline constraints. The end result is a strategic document that defines the talent, technology stack, and business processes that support revenue targets and customer needs.
We can help
Building the blueprint is the most ambitious step in the journey and one where a consultant’s expertise and neutrality can be most valuable. DemandLab can facilitate the process of facilitating leadership participation and synthesizing the input to create a strategic document that maps a clear and accountable path to success. We’ll help you:
- Review and optimize your data model
- Facilitate leadership engagement sessions
- Consult on technical and business requirements
- Build a customized and comprehensive blueprint
- Author the executive strategy report
From blueprint to growth engine
With a fully articulated blueprint that has the full commitment and support of the organization’s leadership, you’re ready to build your growth engine.
The ignition
Growth Engine
Reimagining the system
Traditionally, marketers have skimmed the surface of the customer experience, focusing on customer-facing technologies and processes. But when it’s not connected to deeper systems of engagement, business applications, and infrastructure, it can’t support omnichannel, personalized, real-time interactions.
The growth engine connects technology platforms, human processes, and automated processes to create a system that’s greater than the sum of its parts and capable of generating true insight and enabling exceptional customer experiences.
By ensuring that of each part of your growth engine is connected to the others and there are clearly defined integrations both in terms of data quality and timing (based upon your data model), you can design and deliver exceptional customer experiences.
Make no mistake, building a growth engine takes coordination and change management beyond the marketing function. Make sure to engage your colleagues from other parts of your organization in order to be successful.
We can help
Ready to take a deeper dive and build a system that generates insight and optimizes the customer experience? We’ll help you:

The insight
360˚ View of the Customer
See your customer clearly
Marketers are closest to the customer, yet we often struggle to see them clearly because our systems of engagement aren’t set up to turn touchpoints into insights.
When we structure our CRM to collect data at every touchpoint, our customers emerge in three dimensions and the data enables every business function to anticipate the customer’s needs, elevate the relationship, and identify new opportunities for customer success and revenue acceleration.
We can help
Ready to see your customers in rich, vivid detail? We’ll help you:
- Redesign the system of record to optimize data collection
- Identify the customer data collected across all touchpoints
- Use qualitative and quantitative data to enrich the customer profile
From 360˚ view of the customer to customer journey
When you can see your customers clearly, you can support them on a journey where they’re welcomed, recognized, and understood.
The experience
Customer Journey

When your system can collect data at every touchpoint, share it across the organization, and use it to drive meaningful interactions, you can elevate the customer experience along with customer acquisition, retention, and profitability.
