Brand awareness is the extent to which people are able to recall and recognize your brand. It has two
components: brand recall, which is a measure of how well a brand name is connected to a product class
(e.g. Do customers know that Toyota is connected with the product class of cars?), and brand
recognition, which is when a consumer recognizes a brand by its attributes (i.e. a company’s logo or
brand colors).
Demand generation
Demand generation encompasses — you guessed it! — generating demand for your product or
service. More formally, it is the data-driven focus of marketing programs to produce awareness
and interest in a company's offerings through the use of technology.
