Brand Wings Launches Email Campaign Builder

Email Campaign Builder
On January 4, Brand Wings, a SaaS-based marketing automation platform provider, announced Email Campaign Builder, a new feature that shall be included in the Brand Wings sales enablement platform.

“While there are many email marketing software platforms in the market, one feature that most lack is brand control. Those other programs allow users to upload nearly any logo, image, or digital asset into the email template, regardless of whether those assets are brand compliant. Brand Wings, with its Email Campaign Builder feature, solves those problems for brands. Effectively, there was a trade-off between user flexibility and brand control. Brand Wings changes that by allowing only brand compliant assets to be used in email campaigns while also allowing content customization,” said Jason Kammes, Chief Revenue Officer of Brand Wings.

"Brand Wings changes that by allowing only brand compliant assets to be used in email campaigns while also allowing content customization,” said Jason Kammes, Chief Revenue Officer of Brand Wings.

Using the Brand Wings portal, the portal administrator can design and edit an email campaign by building a template that automatically loads the correct brand logo and other digital assets. Customizing the email content and maintaining multiple versions of the campaign becomes easy with the email campaign builder feature.

Apart from this, the builder also allows both the brand manager and the sales teams to view real-time analytics to gauge how the campaign is performing. The Brand Wings activity stream shows details like clicks, bounces, unsubscribes, and downloads.

The Brand Wings sales enablement platform offers sales teams other benefits like:
  • Centrally located brand asset management for all brand marketing content such as presentations, case studies, images, videos, and documents. Sales teams can easily find these assets, download or distribute them as and when needed.
  • One-to-one asset personalization can help brands to define templates for customization or co-branding based on their business rules. Sales teams can easily create personalized content for the customers and prospective leads.
  • Brand Wings Analytics offers real-time business intelligence on sales and marketing efficiency. The dashboard is easy to understand and provides dynamic targets and KPIs.
The Email Campaign Builder feature is available to all current and prospective Brand Wings portal customers.

95% of Tech Marketers Expect an Increase in their ABM Budgets Over the Next Year

GlobeNewswire | September 29, 2023

Foundry (an IDG, Inc. company) released its third annual 2023 ABM and Intent Benchmarking Study today, which dives into the uses, goals, and challenges of account-based marketing, as well as how intent data is used to fuel ABM programs and the success and challenges tech marketers see with intent. Account-based marketing has taken the B2B marketing world by storm, and the enthusiasm shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, this year’s research found that 96% of tech marketers have a documented ABM strategy and 93% feel that their ABM efforts have been extremely or very successful, which is up from 84% when the study was conducted last year. Here is a closer look at some of the findings from this year’s study: Tactics and tools supporting ABM The landscape for account-based marketing expansion looks promising, as an overwhelming 95% of marketers anticipate that their ABM budgets will increase in the next 12 months. This is a notable uptick from previous years – 90% expected an increase in 2022 and 84% in 2021. Respondents to the survey are using a variety of ABM tactics to support their marketing objectives. These tactics include sales activation/account analytics (cited by 53% of respondents), target-account lead generation (50%), account-based advertising (48%), and content syndication, IP address intelligence, and personalization, all of which are equally cited at 47%. Marketers are also leveraging a mix of tools and channels to support their ABM efforts. Customer marketing (43%) and paid social (40%) are the most widely used resources, followed by content syndication (32%), organic social (28%), and SEO (26%). When it comes to measuring the success of ABM initiatives, marketers use a diverse range of metrics. The top three include customer satisfaction scores (cited by 48%), site visits from target accounts (43%), and revenue generated (40%). Intent data is fueling ABM efforts Another key component of Foundry’s study is the use of intent data with ABM marketers. The research shows that 91% are using intent data/scoring to prioritize their accounts and to identify what content should be served within ABM campaigns. Intent data also plays a key role in identifying target account lists, a practice used by yet another 91% of marketers. Marketers have also extended their use of intent data and are increasing the number of sources they are using, cited by 92%. When it comes to the primary goals of using intent data, marketers are focused on optimizing lead scoring models (cited by 47% of respondents), followed by building audience segments for ad campaigns (43%), identifying new accounts (43%), generating higher quality leads (42%), and monitoring potential customer churn (42%). The goal of any ABM campaign is to generate qualified leads and the survey results indicate a strong correlation between the number of data sources used and lead gen success. About 48% of all marketers said between 11% and 50% of the leads generated from their marketing campaigns become sales-accepted leads and 47% said 51% and 80% are sales-accepted. The challenges ABM marketers face Success isn’t always the case when it comes to marketers and their ABM programs. Only 1% said they don’t experience any challenges with ABM, and the top reported challenges are measuring the success of their programs (35%), attributing the success of the different ABM tactics and channels (34%), and their tech stack being overly complicated (29%). The same sentiment goes for intent. Marketers need help with intent data, specifically with getting their sales teams to trust the intent data quality (49%), measuring the impact of intent data on pipeline (48%), and combining intent from multiple data sources (47%). Ninety-two percent of marketers also cited that it’s important that they know the exact sources of intent data when working with a provider. Just over half of respondents listed criteria for when they chose a data provider, such as: vendor reviews/analyst evaluations (rated as very or somewhat important by 97%), sample data that can be independently validated (97%), and peer recommendations (95%). This research indicates that even as ABM and intent have come mainstream in B2B, marketers are now, more than ever, focused towards measuring the impact of both ABM campaigns and intent data, said Tukan Das, Vice President and Product Manager, Foundry.
