Single Grain
Single Grain keeps publishing AI-for-marketing how-tos, not product changes
A side-by-side editorial comparison of MySignature and Demand Gen Report — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
MySignature turned its digital business card into a lead-capture surface, then instrumented it.
MySignature started as an email signature designer and has spent the last year building out a second product around digital business cards. August was the month that surface stopped being a way to hand over contact details and became a way to collect them: a Collect Contacts form block, a Contacts list behind it, and analytics on views, clicks, QR scans and traffic sources. The signature editor keeps advancing separately, with reply and forward variants the newest addition.
Demand Gen Report covers Salesforce's AI sales agent research and click-free measurement.
Demand Gen Report's feed publishes under the B2BMX Insights name and remains trade journalism. The newest pieces include an opinion column arguing that giving sales reps Claude is not a strategy, a CTV case study, Demand Spring's new CMO services, a webinar with Madison Logic's CEO and a call for its 2027 planning survey. None describes a Demand Gen Report product.

The direction is from presentation to acquisition. Design tooling — drag mode, AI layout suggestions, banner campaigns — made signatures look better; the card work makes them measurable and makes them capture. That is a different business: a signature is a design asset, a card that collects and reports on leads is a small marketing channel, and the Contacts list is the first place MySignature holds customer data of its own.
Expect the Contacts list to grow the obvious next pieces — export, tagging, and a route into the CRMs and marketing tools its Teams customers already run.
