Global Demand Generation Transformation

Redesigned the demand generation and attribution ecosystem for a multi region B2B organization, turning disconnected campaign activity into measurable pipeline growth.

problem

The organization was investing heavily in digital campaigns, webinars, partner activations, and field marketing across multiple regions, yet leadership could not clearly answer a simple question, which activities were actually generating pipeline. Campaign naming conventions varied by region. Sales teams were logging opportunities differently. Marketing reports focused on impressions, clicks, and leads, while commercial leaders cared about revenue, opportunity velocity, and conversion. As a result: Marketing performance was being questioned Budget allocation was driven by opinion instead of evidence Regional teams were duplicating work Executive confidence in marketing reporting was low The business was not lacking activity. It was lacking visibility.

solution

I led a full redesign of the demand generation measurement framework. The work started with stakeholder interviews across marketing, sales, finance, and regional leadership to identify reporting gaps and operational bottlenecks. I then: Created a unified campaign taxonomy across all regions Standardized lead source definitions Built attribution rules tied to opportunity stages Mapped campaign touchpoints across the customer journey Designed executive dashboards focused on pipeline, influence, conversion, and ROI Trained regional teams on governance and adoption Instead of reporting on activity, the business began reporting on commercial outcomes.

The biggest challenge was not technology. It was alignment.

Every region believed their reporting method worked. Sales blamed marketing for poor lead quality. Marketing blamed CRM adoption. Leadership had stopped trusting the numbers.

Rather than forcing a system from the top down, I started by listening. I mapped how each team worked, identified where data broke, and built a framework around the reality of the business.

By week six, teams were seeing their campaigns connected to real opportunities for the first time. By project completion, marketing was no longer defending its value. It was proving it.
