Demand Gen for Community Platforms isn't the same as Demand Gen for any other vertical. Your buyers are different. Your proof points are different. Your sales cycle is different. Cactus Marketing has worked with 5x Community member growth— so we come pre-loaded with the playbooks that work in your market, not ones we'll figure out on your dime.
