In this episode of B2B Marketing Futures, we dig into one of the most enduring debates in modern B2B marketing: demand creation vs. demand capture. How do leading teams balance long-term brand building with short-term pipeline pressure? And how are shifting search behaviours, communities, and AI reshaping how demand is created, discovered, and converted?

Drawing on real-world experience across SaaS, cybersecurity, and developer-led growth, our panel explores how marketers can design strategies that work across the full funnel, without falling into the trap of over-optimising for immediate attribution.

This conversation offers a practical, experience-led look at brand investment, organic growth, community engagement, owned media, and the evolving role of AI in search, attribution, and buyer behaviour.

Participants:
• Amit Gupta — Senior Director, Marketing Operations, Fortanix
• Annie Quigley Roberts — Demand Generation Manager, ServiceNow
• Jakki Jakaj — Director of Growth & Digital Marketing Leader, dbt Labs
