Digital marketers have spent more than a decade building strong systems for bottom-funnel capture. Search, remarketing, conversion-focused landing pages, and performance optimization all became essential growth tools. But that success created a blind spot. Many teams became so focused on harvesting existing demand that they under-invested in creating new demand. Google’s recent Demand Gen messaging…
