Full-Funnel Demand Gen: What Agency 2.0 Actually Delivers

Why modern B2B teams replace channel-first agencies with full-funnel systems that connect awareness to pipeline and revenue.

You feel the pressure to hit pipeline targets faster, with fewer resources, in a market that refuses to sit still. Lead gen tricks do not cut it anymore. Channels feel saturated. SDR calendars stay thin. Leadership wants “more, now” with less budget and less risk.


This is where full funnel demand changes the game for you. It shifts your focus from isolated campaigns to a connected, measurable system across the entire buyer journey. And Agency 2.0 partners are built to run that system with you, not for you.


Why full funnel demand is the new baseline


Your buyers do not move in a straight line. They self educate, compare, validate, and engage across channels before they speak with anyone on your team. Research shows that 73% of buyers research across multiple channels before purchasing. Another study found that 88% of B2B buyers conduct online research before they decide


If your strategy optimizes only the bottom of the funnel, you lose the majority of those buyers long before an opportunity exists. Full funnel demand aligns your brand, content, and revenue operations around one goal. You create and capture demand across awareness, consideration, and decision, then measure impact on pipeline and revenue, not vanity metrics.


Agency 2.0 teams are built around this reality. They do not treat channels as silos or leads as a volume metric. They orchestrate the entire buyer experience so you reach the right accounts early, stay relevant across touchpoints, and make it easy to buy when they are ready.


From lead factories to full funnel systems


Traditional agencies focus on campaigns. They push gated content, one off webinars, and channel specific plays. You get spikes, not systems. Your CRM fills up with low intent leads that sales ignores. Your reporting shows clicks and downloads instead of qualified opportunities.


Full funnel demand flips that model. Instead of optimizing for form fills, you optimize for revenue. Instead of one campaign at a time, you run integrated motions tied to lifecycle stages. The system has four core pillars.


1. Strategic clarity on who you want and why


Full funnel demand starts with sharp focus on who you want to win and what they care about. You define:


• Priority segments and tiers inside your ICP

• Buying committees and role level pain points

• Key problems, triggers, and “why now” moments

• Signals that show an account is warming up or in market


Without this level of clarity, multi channel orchestration turns into noise. With it, every touch feels aligned to a specific problem and stage. You avoid generic messaging and give your sales team context they can trust.


2. Multi channel orchestration across the full journey


Your buyers do not think in channels. They think in tasks. Learn. Shortlist. Compare. Get internal buy in. A full funnel strategy uses multi channel orchestration to support each of those tasks with consistent, stage specific stories.


Multi channel programs also perform better. One report showed that businesses using multichannel marketing see a 9.5% increase in revenue compared to single channel, and another study found that integrated multi channel strategies can increase ROI by 24%


Agency 2.0 partners build channel mixes around your real buyers, not trends:


• Paid social to create and shape demand in your priority accounts

• Search to capture active intent and redirect it to your best offers

• Programmatic or direct display to stay top of mind with buying groups

• Email and lifecycle nurture to deepen education and accelerate consensus

• Events, communities, and partner channels to reach buyers in trusted spaces


Multi channel orchestration does not mean “be everywhere”. It means show up where your buyers already spend time, with connected messaging and measurement. That is what turns awareness into pipeline momentum instead of spend waste.


3. Content built for how B2B buyers research


Full funnel demand depends on content that does a specific job at a specific stage. It is not a library of assets. It is a ladder.


You already know your buyers research heavily. Surveys indicate that 68% of B2B buyers prefer to research purchases online, and many will not talk to a sales rep until they feel informed. Your content needs to meet them there. 


A modern Agency 2.0 team structures content like this:


Problem and category content for early stage awareness, focused on outcomes and risk

Solution and use case narratives that map your product to real workflows and jobs to be done

Social proof and enablement assets that help buyers sell your solution inside their org

Conversion level offers that reduce friction at decision stage, such as trials, pilots, or assessments


Across all of this, the content system needs tight alignment with paid, email, and sales motions. That is how you get the right asset in front of the right contact at the right time, instead of hoping a broad content calendar creates pipeline.


4. Revenue operations and measurement that tie it together


Full funnel demand is not possible without strong RevOps. You need reliable data, shared definitions, and clean handoffs across marketing, SDR, and sales. You also need reporting that your leadership trusts.


Agency 2.0 teams partner with your ops function to:


• Define lifecycle stages and conversion rules for accounts and contacts

• Set up tracking for all key funnel stages, from engagement to opportunity to revenue

• Align routing, SLAs, and feedback loops between marketing, SDR, and sales

• Build dashboards that show full funnel performance and cohort trends


The result is a system where you know which plays work, which segments respond, and where friction slows deals. That clarity lets you reallocate budget with confidence and defend your strategy in every QBR.


What Agency 2.0 means in practice


“Agency 2.0” is not a slogan. It reflects a different way of working with your team. Instead of a vendor that ships campaigns and monthly reports, you gain an integrated growth partner embedded in your funnel.


Ownership of outcomes, not just outputs


A traditional agency optimizes for deliverables. Email sends. Ad creatives. Landing pages. You measure their success on activity volume and channel level metrics.


An Agency 2.0 partner aligns to your revenue targets. They treat pipeline stages and opportunity creation as the north star. When the data shows a gap, they help fix the system, not only the tactic.


In practice, this looks like:


• Planning cycles driven by pipeline targets and sales feedback

• Channel and creative changes when opportunity quality dips, not only when CPC rises

• Collaboration with RevOps and sales leaders to adjust sequences, messaging, or routing

• Quarterly strategy reviews based on full funnel data, not only media results


Continuous multi channel experimentation


B2B buying behavior keeps shifting. One recent survey reported that 61% of B2B buyers prefer a rep free buying experience. At the same time, buyers expect guidance when they move closer to a decision. 


That tension means your playbook cannot stay static. Agency 2.0 teams run structured experiments across creative, offers, and channels. They test how different formats perform across the funnel, refine sequences based on buyer engagement, and double down on motions that lead to qualified opportunities.


This test and learn approach becomes a constant, not a quarterly special project. It keeps your full funnel demand engine responsive, instead of reactive, and helps your team stay ahead of buyer expectations.


Tight integration with your sales team


Full funnel demand fails when marketing and sales operate in separate worlds. Studies show that companies with formal, aligned sales processes outperform. One report found that organizations with a formal sales process are 33% more likely to increase revenue faster than competitors


Agency 2.0 partners treat your sales org as a primary stakeholder. They:


• Involve frontline reps in messaging development and offer design

• Share insights on account engagement so reps know who to prioritize

• Co design follow up plays for high intent signals and account surges

• Review opportunity outcomes to refine upstream targeting and creative


This collaboration turns your go to market motion into one continuous system instead of a series of handoffs. Full funnel demand becomes a shared way of working across teams, not a marketing project.


What you should expect from a full funnel demand partner


If you are evaluating agencies, it helps to know what “full funnel” should mean in day to day terms. Here is what you should expect from an Agency 2.0 relationship.


1. Clear, shared definitions and goals


You and your partner should align on:


• ICP and priority account tiers, including exclusion lists

• Lifecycle stages and conversion criteria

• What counts as high intent engagement or “sales ready”

• Quarterly targets for pipeline and opportunity creation


These definitions sit at the core of your full funnel demand engine. Without them, you risk misaligned expectations and reporting gaps that erode trust.


2. A multi quarter roadmap, not a one off campaign plan


Full funnel demand is a system that matures over time. You should see a roadmap that:


• Phases in new channels as you validate early performance

• Builds reusable assets that serve multiple stages, such as modular video and narrative decks

• Sets clear milestones for data quality, tracking, and reporting improvements

• Plans for tests each quarter across creative, offers, and targeting


This roadmap gives you a way to communicate progress internally and set realistic expectations with leadership.


3. Integrated reporting across the full funnel


Channel reports are not enough. A true Agency 2.0 partner will help you answer:


• Which segments and offers drive the highest quality opportunities

• How accounts move from anonymous engagement to known contacts to opportunities

• Which programs accelerate sales cycles or improve win rates

• Where handoffs break and where buyers stall


You should see dashboards that show performance from awareness through revenue, with clear insights and recommendations, not only data exports.


4. Operational support, not only marketing support


Full funnel demand touches your CRM, marketing automation, enrichment tools, and reporting stack. Agencies that ignore this reality force your internal team to carry too much operational risk.


Agency 2.0 partners roll up their sleeves on:


• Data cleanliness and enrichment standards

• Lead and account scoring logic tied to real buying signals

• Routing rules that fit your territories and capacity

• Testing and validating tracking for every key program


That support reduces friction on your internal team and keeps your system stable as programs scale.
