What the
C-Suite Really Wants. And How Marketing Delivers It
For too long,
marketing has been boxed into the “awareness” corner seen as the team that
makes things look good, run ads, and maybe get talked about. But in boardrooms
that understand modern growth, that thinking is outdated.
Marketing
isn’t a cost. It’s a catalyst.
A well-run
marketing function builds brand awareness so that you are considered.
Then it builds brand salience so that you are remembered at the right
moment, in the right context, by the right customer.
And this isn't
just vanity. It's revenue.
1. Awareness
Fuels the Funnel
Without
awareness, sales starts from zero. Brand awareness ensures you're part of the
customer's initial consideration set and research shows that being in the set massively
increases your odds of being chosen. You can’t sell if no one remembers you
exist.
2. Salience
Reduces Friction
Brand salience i.e.,
being top of mind at buying moments reduces the energy and time required to
close a sale. Customers come pre-warmed. Sales cycles are shorter. Objections
are fewer. Price becomes less of an issue because you're already mentally “in.”
3. Marketing
Builds the Pipeline Before Sales Arrives
Think about
every touchpoint before a human salesperson enters the picture:
- Website visits
- Search engine queries
- LinkedIn content
- Case studies
- Third-party mentions
These are
marketing-led. They nurture intent before the first meeting is even booked.
4. Strong
Brands Close Better Deals
A recognized,
trusted brand doesn’t just get more leads, it gets better leads. Brand strength
increases win rates, upsell potential, and cross-sell success. It creates a
sense of trust that pricing, features, or discounts alone can’t manufacture.
5. When
Marketing Works, Sales Becomes Scalable
You can’t scale
a sales team infinitely. But you can scale awareness. And the more well-known
and well-understood your brand is, the easier it becomes for every salesperson
to do their job without burning out or discounting.
In Summary:
Revenue is not
driven by sales alone.
It’s driven by marketing that makes selling easier, faster, and more
profitable.
Marketing
builds the conditions for growth before, during, and after a sales call.
