    In this episode, we dive deep into a question we get asked all the time: should you outsource your demand generation program to an agency or do it in-house? As two people who have experience on both sides – running agencies and helping companies build their own in-house demand generation teams – we’re here to give you the real answer.

    We’ll discuss why many agencies can’t deliver on their promises and why it’s often better to build the foundation of your demand generation program in-house before turning to external help. We also cover what you need to have in place before hiring an agency and how to use one effectively when the time is right.

    Tune in and learn:


    + Why you should start demand generation in-house

    + The importance of customer interviews and qualitative insights

    + When an agency can amplify your efforts and how to pick the right one


    This episode is a must-watch for any B2B marketer struggling with the decision to hire external help. Learn from our mistakes and set your business up for demand generation success.
