What each level must prove
Mid-level
Owns programs across organic, events, nurture and ABM, and measures them with funnel and attribution data.
You now own whole programs and read the data yourself: where leads drop in the funnel, which touches influenced a deal, which accounts engage. The shift from junior is that you pick what to run and prove it with numbers, not only execute.
Average score required: 69%
Organic & Content Marketing
Why: Lets you plan SEO and thought-leadership content that builds pipeline over months, and defend its budget even though it does not pay back in the first quarter.
Event & Field Marketing
Why: Lets you decide which conferences and field events deserve a booth, and plan the pre-event and follow-up outreach that turn badge scans into meetings.
Lead Nurture Programs
Why: Lets you build lifecycle sequences and scoring so leads not ready to talk to sales keep receiving relevant content and return when they show intent.
Content Strategy for Pipeline
Why: Lets you map each content piece to a buyer-journey stage and see which stage lacks material, instead of publishing topics only because they are easy to produce.
Multi-Touch Attribution
Why: Lets you read a multi-touch report and explain why a channel looks weak on last-click but strong in early-stage influence, before leadership cuts it.
Funnel Analytics & Optimization
Why: Lets you locate the stage where conversion or velocity drops and test a fix there, rather than adding more top-of-funnel spend to a leaking funnel.
ABM Strategy & Target Selection
Why: Lets you build tiers and a target account list from intent and ICP scoring, and justify to sales why some accounts get one-to-one effort and others do not.
ABM Measurement
Why: Lets you track account engagement and pipeline influence rather than lead counts, so you can show that ABM is working even when form fills stay flat.
