What is agentic marketing operations?

Agentic marketing operations means running the marketing function with autonomous AI agents that research prospects, draft content, run outreach, and report on results — supervised by a human strategist. Demandara provides the agent stack plus the human supervision as a managed service.

How is Demandara different from a marketing agency?

Traditional agencies bill for human hours. Demandara bills for outcomes — research briefs delivered, prospects sourced, content shipped, SEO pages published. The agent stack does the volume; the human strategist owns the strategy and quality bar.

How is Demandara different from a marketing platform?

Platforms (Hightouch, Salesforce Agentforce, Jam7) require you to staff and operate them. Demandara is the operator — we run the platform on your behalf. You get marketing function output, not a tool subscription.

How much does a Demandara pilot cost?

30-day pilots start at $2,500 USD. Ongoing monthly retainers start at $5,000 USD/month. Three pilot slots are open at a time to keep quality high.

Who has Demandara worked with?

Demandara is the agency arm of Cognitia. Our public case studies are the brands inside Cognitia's own portfolio: Inlet Move (movers, Vancouver), Skillucate (BC student funding guidance), Alpha Investo (systematic crypto research).

Does Demandara support Customer.io?

Yes for clients that have it. We do not stand it up for a client who does not — the engineering overhead does not fit our typical client profile (sub-$5M ARR, no dedicated dev team).
