Demand Gen vs Lead Gen: Know the Difference know what is needed for your tech growth

Marketers often confuse demand generation with B2B lead generation. They are linked, but they serve very different roles in the funnel.

Demand Generation builds awareness and trust long before a buyer is ready to talk. It is about:

Sharing ungated, educational content

Growing your brand visibility

Staying top of mind for the 95% not in-market yet

B2B Lead Generation captures intent when buyers show interest. It is about:

Gated assets, demo requests, and sign-ups

Feeding sales with qualified opportunities

Driving measurable outcomes like SQLs

Put simply:
👉 Demand Gen = Prepare the market
👉 Lead Gen = Harvest the market

The best companies do both. Demand warms the ground, Lead Gen captures it. When combined, they create sustainable pipelines and faster sales cycles.
