To run always-on demand generation inside your existing martech stack, focus on automating multi-channel campaigns with tools like Tofu, an agentic demand generation platform. This guide outlines the steps to integrate and optimize your martech infrastructure for continuous demand gen success.

Disclosure: Tofu is our product. We've included it in this guide alongside other tools for transparency. All tools were evaluated using the same criteria, and we've done our best to represent each honestly — including Tofu's real limitations.

The market context: According to Forrester (2026), companies using AI-powered lead nurture see 25% higher conversion rates than traditional drip sequences. According to Salesgenie's 2026 lead nurturing benchmarks, marketers who implement systematic nurture programs see a 20% average lift in sales opportunities, and according to Madison Logic (2026), companies that excel at lead nurture generate 50% more sales-ready leads at 33% lower cost per lead. Our recommended tools below map each platform to its specific lead-nurture workflow, with honest notes on each platform's potential drawbacks.

Hear from leading experts

"I take a broad view of ABM: if you're targeting a specific set of accounts and tailoring engagement based on what you know about them, you're doing it. But most teams are stuck in the old loop: Sales hands Marketing a list, Marketing runs ads, and any response is treated as intent."

Kevin White
Head of GTM Strategy
Common Room

"ABM has always been just good marketing. It starts with clarity on your ICP and ends with driving revenue. But the way we get from A to B has changed dramatically."

Latané Conant
Chief Revenue Officer
6sense

"ABM either dies or thrives on Sales-Marketing alignment; there's no in-between. When Marketing runs plays on specific accounts or contacts and Sales isn't doing complementary outreach, the whole thing falls short."

Michael Pannone
Director of Global Demand Generation

"In our research at 6sense, few marketers view ABM as critical to hitting revenue goals this year. But that's not because ABM doesn't work; it's because most teams haven't implemented it well."

Kerry Cunningham
Head of Research & Thought Leadership
6sense

"To me, ABM isn't a campaign; it's a go-to-market operating model. It starts with cross-functional planning: mapping revenue targets, territories, and board priorities."

Corrina Owens

"With AI, we can personalize not just by account, but by segment, by buying group, and even by individual. That level of precision just wasn't possible a few years ago."
