Cross LoB ContentMap Assessment
Aprox. 265 total content
assets cross
~20% are “demand generating”
(we can reasonably require
registration to obtain)
• ex. white papers, webinars,
sponsored reports)
~20% are targeted at the “discovery
stage” where we seek to:
• engage prospects in a topic/ conversation
• loosen their status quo and get them
committed to the idea of change
