GetIt and Folloze
On April 7, GetIt and Folloze announced an agency partnership. It will bring together the Folloze B2B Buyer Experience Platform with GetIT’s account-based marketing solutions for technology, telecom marketing and IT. It aims to solve a common challenge for marketers, which is bringing ABM and other marketing solutions to marketing swiftly. This process usually takes months. Folloze and GetIt will together eliminate the time taken for the coding activities and integration and offer clients a ready-made solution that facilitates content curation and a customized content hub.

“Personalized content curation and presentation are critical components of all ABM work,” said Anol Bhattacharya, CEO of GetIT, based in Singapore.

“Personalized content curation and presentation are critical components of all ABM work,” said Anol Bhattacharya, CEO of GetIT, based in Singapore. “In most cases, the time to go live between account strategy and implementing a personalized content hub can make or break the ABM process. By fusing our buyer enablement content with the Folloze B2B Buyer Experience Platform, we’re redefining the dynamics of the B2B buyer journey.”

“Most B2B marketers are overwhelmed with the task of building a martech stack without adding complexity. That’s what Folloze does best,” Bhattacharya said. “It’s all about solving a specific set of business problems and improving the buyer experience. And because Folloze is platform agnostic, we can confidently say to our clients that Folloze will fit right into whatever tech stack they’re using.”

“We can now offer a powerful solution to scale ABM buyer journeys, putting them in exactly the right context and with the right structure behind it,” said Randy Brasche, VP of Marketing for Folloze. “We enable frontline marketers to easily build highly engaging, personalized content destinations across the entire B2B buyer journey to drive deeper account engagement and stronger revenue growth.”

“More than 90 percent of ABM projects fail because there is little or no alignment,” Bhattacharya said. “This partnership creates an effective mechanism to bridge the gap between sales and marketing teams.” Folloze VP Brasche added, “Marketing is increasingly accountable for driving revenue. Together, we’re empowering frontline marketers to provide accurate insights to sales and tighter orchestration of the revenue process.”

“We envision these agency partnerships as a promising channel for us to influence a new era of high-touch buyer journeys,” Brasche said. “We’re delighted to bring all of our expertise to bear and work with great agencies like GetIT.”

GetIT agrees that Folloze is up to the task. “I was blown away with the enthusiasm the Folloze team has for delivering digitally rich B2B buyer journeys,” Bhattacharya said. “They really believe in their product, and that belief is contagious. As a partner, their team has been super responsive, helping us train our people and close deals fast.”

Piper's ability to precisely target accounts and buying groups that are showing intent is unique in the industry. Combining that precision with its unparalleled granular reporting will be a first in the increasingly popular CTV advertising market, which until now has been focused primarily on B2C. As noted in the new 'State of B2B Advertising' report, CTV has firmly established itself as an important B2B advertising channel for 2023 and beyond, driven by its capacity to broadcast video advertisements during television shows and movies on a wide variety of platforms like Hulu, Pluto, and Tubi. Remarkably, access to CTV devices surged from 82% of US households in 2021 to over 90% in 2023. CTV platforms boast high engagement levels, with viewers consuming content actively selected by them, leading to superior ad viewability and completion rates. In addition, CTV's unique blend of sight, sound, and motion enhances the ad recall across other channels, such as display, paid social, and paid search, when used in combination, thereby boosting the overall impact of advertising campaigns. Of note, 66% of CTV advertisers have not previously used traditional TV advertising, mainly due to concerns over pricing and targeting precision — factors that CTV effectively addresses. "CTV represents an exciting, rapidly expanding advertising landscape that's seen remarkable growth over the last few years," said Gareth Noonan, general manager, advertising at Demandbase. "With the Demandbase Piper B2B DSP, we're empowering companies to harness this potential in a way that's both effective and efficient.
