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 work with HubSpot?

Yes — we read/write via HubSpot's API. We can run the marketing motion on top of an existing HubSpot install or stand up a lighter stack from scratch.

Is Demandara cheaper than HubSpot Pro?

HubSpot Pro is $890/mo for the seat license alone, before you staff it. Demandara is $5K/mo for the platform AND the operator. The math favors Demandara up until you have a 2+ person marketing team that wants the toolset.
