Today, marketers are searching for innovative solutions to break through the noise to reach consumers in meaningful ways. In this COVID-19 environment, more consumers are at home to receive mail and phone calls and browse digital materials aimed toward customer acquisition.

The lead gen industry now totals $26 billion, up 18% over 2018. The digital segment is growing faster (up 33% year over year) than direct mail and represents more than 60% of the overall lead gen market. The emphasis on digital lead gen solutions indicates that data analytics, rather than the data itself, is where the value lies. Companies that provide high value data analytics and tools are increasingly valuable and are in high demand.
