How Do Outsourcing Vendors Integrate Demand Gen with Partner Ecosystems?
Turn channel relationships into pipeline. Coordinate co-marketing, MDF-fueled programs, shared audience data, and joint attribution so your partners amplify every campaign—and everyone sees the revenue impact.
Integrate demand gen with partners by aligning a shared ICP, co-developing offer-led plays, and executing through a joint calendar across email, events, paid, and content syndication. Use clean data sharing (opt-in, purpose-limited), deal registration, and multi-touch attribution to credit influence. Fund scale with MDF and automate co-branded execution in your MAP/CRM.
