Intentsify as CMO
Intentsify™, the Intelligence Activation Platform for buying-intent signals and Demand Activation Programs provider, today announced Jennifer Ross has joined the company as Chief Marketing Officer. As Intentsify’s CMO, Ross will be responsible for the company’s overall marketing strategy and execution, building out the marketing team to keep pace with the company’s rapid-growth trajectory.

Prior to joining Intentsify, Ross led the B2B Marketing Executive service at Forrester and SiriusDecisions, a global research and advisory firm, where she empowered leading global CMOs with actionable intelligence, transformative frameworks, and expert industry guidance to deliver exceptional audience-centric go-to-market strategies.

“Jennifer’s extensive experience as both a B2B marketing leader and executive advisor in the tech space made her the obvious choice to lead our marketing organization,” said Marc Laplante, CEO, Intentsify.

“Jennifer’s extensive experience as both a B2B marketing leader and executive advisor in the tech space made her the obvious choice to lead our marketing organization,” said Marc Laplante, CEO, Intentsify. “Her extensive knowledge and skill set complement our leadership team with the expertise required to further accelerate the adoption of Intentsify’s product portfolio among B2B marketing, sales, customer success, and data science teams.”

Ross’s experience before joining SiriusDecisions/Forester included marketing leadership roles at both established and startup B2B companies, including JD Edwards, IBM, Alteryx, and Telelogic, where she built and scaled high-performing world class marketing teams that achieved outstanding growth.

With nearly three decades of B2B marketing experience in the technology industry, Ross has the expertise required to develop and drive Intentsify’s strategy during a period of rapid growth for the company.

“The ability to meet buyers where they are in the buying process—to deliver what they need when they need it—has become table stakes for B2B organizations. Buyers expect it,” said Intentsify CMO, Jennifer Ross. “It’s the reason that understanding and acting on buyer-intent signals is so essential. Yet, B2B organizations struggle with gathering, analyzing, and using buying-intent signals. Intentsify’s rapid growth to date is a direct result of how the company is delivering on the promise of intent data with powerful integrated technology, data, and programs that activate dynamic, future-proof go-to-market strategies. It’s a game changer—not only for accelerating performance across the organization, but for improving the overall buying experience. It's going to usher in the next evolution of B2B go-to-market motions. I’m thrilled to be part of this next phase of Intentisfy’s growth.”

The B2B CFO’s Guide to Revenue Forecasting and Efficient Growth

When the economy falters, buyer behavior changes. But the key questions CFOs always ask are: By how much? And how much will it affect the sales pipeline, the lifeblood of the business?

To maintain a healthy balance sheet, it’s critical for CFOs to get those answers right. And that’s where things get tricky. When CFOs trim budgets with a too-heavy hand, they can cripple the business’ future growth. Conversely, if they don’t trim enough, the business can bleed out.

Bidtellect, Bombora | January 20, 2023

Bidtellect, one of the leading demand-side platform and advertising technology firms, and Bombora, the pioneer in B2B intent data, recently collaborated with a financial services client to compare the effectiveness of contextual targeting and behavioral targeting in a head-to-head campaign test. The results demonstrate the efficacy of context-sensitive, cookie-free technology as a performance aid rather than a cookie substitute. The objectives of the campaign were to direct users to the client's landing pages and promote chatbot interactions. The contextual campaign used Bombora's contextual segments to accompany Bidtellect's bidding technology. Ultimately, Bombora and Bidtellect contextual technology drastically reduced the cost of driving users to landing pages, saving the client money and optimising return on spend. Director of Sales at Bidtellect, Jonno Burden, said, "Account-based marketing has historically been the default strategy for our B2B partners targeting decision-makers in their industry." He added, "Bombora and Bidtellect's double-pronged approach incorporating their contextual solution not only reaches potential clients via ABM targeting, but drives incremental conversions, engagement, and reach that are potentially missed. We were thrilled to see such great results with new converting clients." (Source – GlobeNewswire) Notable outcomes include eCPC (effective cost per click) and eCPM efficiencies, which resulted in 38% more impressions and an astounding 83% more clicks by the contextual test campaign than to the control campaign. In addition, the Bombora contextual test campaign performed 48% higher in landing page CPA (cost per acquisition) and 19% better in chatbot CPA than the behavioral control campaign.
