Left Brain Demand Gen is a different kind of marketing publication. We look at B2B demand generation through the way prospects and customers consume information to make buying decisions, and at the lead nurturing programmes that deliver the content they need to decide well. We cover marketing automation tools, the business processes that make budgets go further and the measurement that proves results. We also keep an eye on casino and sports betting operators, whose CRM teams run some of the most data-driven nurturing anywhere: see iGaming Demand Gen.
