Demand capture focuses on reaching and converting buyers who are already in-market and actively researching solutions. It targets audiences showing clear intent signals and guides them toward actions that generate qualified pipeline.
Channels like paid search, content syndication, and retargeting are commonly used because they intercept buyers at the moment they’re looking for answers.
Unlike demand creation, which aims to generate new interest over time, demand capture concentrates on harnessing existing demand as efficiently as possible. It surfaces prospects who are closer to making a decision and aligns messaging to the specific needs and urgency of these later-stage buyers. This makes it a highly accountable, revenue-focused component of the go-to-market engine.
