Why we built
Moving Parade.

Why we built
Moving Parade.

We spent nearly a decade building a global agency for brands including BMW, Starbucks, Spotify and Under Armour. Our work followed their customers into social video, creators and new and exciting ways of discovering what to buy.

The playbooks were converging.

We started seeing those behaviors taking hold in B2B. Buyers were learning through video, following experts and forming preferences before speaking to sales. The consumer and enterprise playbooks were converging, while much of demand generation still revolved around capturing a lead.

What AI changed.

AI is changing how buyers find information and how brands act. Buyers can ask an AI engine to explain a category, compare vendors and recommend a shortlist. They can get answers without clicking through to a website. A brand’s visibility now depends on what buyers encounter across search, AI answers, social feeds and the people they trust. For marketers, AI also creates new ways to run the work. Brands can build capabilities around their own business, reducing their dependence on separate software providers for every task. They can interpret customer and market signals faster, then use those signals to coordinate relevant communication across advertising, content and sales. That expands what a demand program can do, and how quickly it can respond.

Built in the middle of it.

We founded Moving Parade as these changes were taking shape. We brought experience building consumer brands and designed our company around the way B2B was evolving. AI is part of how we operate: how we research markets, develop creative, run campaigns and learn from results. Our experts set the strategy and direct an agentic platform built to carry that strategy into daily execution.

Building what comes next.

We’re building the future of demand generation: agentic first, expert led, and developed alongside innovative, market-leading brand partners. Our consumer experience informs how we build attention and preference. Our work with B2B brands grounds that approach in complex buying decisions and sales cycles. Our platform connects the work, so new information can shape what happens next. We bring that together in one demand program: paid and owned media connected to sales, with experts accountable for the decisions and the results.

Methodology

How we
think about demand gen.

  1. Demand gen reaches buyers too late.

    The old B2B playbook

    Programs start at the form fill: lead forms, an MQL target, and leads passed to sales once they qualify.

    How pipeline is won today

    The plan starts months before a buyer raises a hand: the ads, content and AI answers that build the shortlist, then the outreach that follows.

  2. The pipeline target sets the budget.

    The old B2B playbook

    The budget starts from last year’s number and gets split across channels, and the plan forecasts leads from there.

    How pipeline is won today

    The plan works back from the pipeline target, through conversion by stage and what sales can work, to the spend it takes to get there.

  3. Production is a job for agents.

    The old B2B playbook

    Designers and writers make a few new ads each cycle, and weekly testing runs on audiences, bids and budgets.

    How pipeline is won today

    Agents make the ads, so the same budget buys more versions to test. We ran Moving Parade on them first.

  4. Marketing and sales need the same number.

    The old B2B playbook

    Each platform reports results with its own attribution, and a monthly report rolls them up after the month has closed.

    How pipeline is won today

    Marketing and sales agree the definitions before launch and report from the CRM. Agents watch the number daily, so a gap shows up mid-quarter.

  5. Your context belongs in the platform.

    The old B2B playbook

    What the team knows about your brand and buyers lives in briefs, decks and people’s heads, and new hires start over.

    How pipeline is won today

    Brand, buyer and CRM data live on one agentic platform, kept current, so every agent and every person starts from the same facts.

  6. The people who plan it should run it.

    The old B2B playbook

    A senior team sets the strategy, then each channel’s team runs its own piece day to day.

    How pipeline is won today

    The people who plan the program run paid, owned and RevOps together, every day, and they’re the people you talk to.
