RollWorks Strengthens its Data Foundation with Accelerated Product Development and New Partnerships

RollWorks Strengthens its Data Foundation
RollWorks, a division of NextRoll, today further entrenched its leadership in account-centric data with additional partner and platform investments. New and expanded partnerships with leading data providers Bombora and KickFire, as well as an upcoming integration with G2 give RollWorks an antenna to capture multi-faceted, account-level intent signals and are an integral part of RollWorks' commitment to create the most comprehensive partner-led ecosystem. B2B go-to-market teams leverage the RollWorks platform data to identify target accounts and contacts, reach full buying committees across multiple channels, and measure program effectiveness.

RollWorks continues to invest heavily in its own data foundation, including enhancements to firmographic data identification and IP to domain resolution. These investments have elevated the overall company match rate of accounts targeted by RollWorks customers to 98%. Additionally, RollWorks has strengthened its overall company data set. These strong investments in RollWorks' data assets, combined with its partnerships with market leaders like Bombora, KickFire and soon-to-be G2, position RollWorks to offer one of the industry's most robust data capabilities.

"Data powers all aspects of robust account-based strategies, from discovering your ideal customer profile to setting up your target account list and then targeting those accounts in the most efficient and effective way," said Mike Stocker, VP of Partnerships at RollWorks. "Comprehensive, accurate data is critical - that's why RollWorks is investing in partnerships with market-leading data providers like Bombora, G2, and KickFire. Through these relationships, we strengthen our own data assets to offer a more comprehensive solution that helps go-to-market teams grow their revenue."

Stocker continued, "As everyone is focused on ABM capabilities, we cannot forget that ABM is tethered to the underlying data. A highly accurate match rate is the underpinning of all tenants - without it, you're missing the big picture. The industry needs to get match rates as close to 100% as possible, and RollWorks has done that through our own data foundation and partnerships."

RollWorks + Bombora to find and engage high intent accounts

Bombora's Company Surge® Intent data uniquely measures and scores intent signals across a proprietary data cooperative of 4,000+ B2B content sources. Bombora establishes a baseline of activity for specific accounts, and then patented data science identifies buyer intent through account-based increases in content consumption around specific topics.

A sample of Bombora's Intent data is now available in the RollWorks Starter plan, making it the most affordable ABM platform in the market to include a level of intent functionality for all customers. Bombora Company Surge powers RollWorks' Account Intent, used to target and spend more effectively with intent-driven digital advertising. This expanded offering helps RollWorks further its mission of leveling the playing field for B2B marketers by providing critical go-to-market insights to teams of all sizes and budgets to stay competitive in their respective markets.

"Over the past year, Bombora and RollWorks have enabled hundreds of customers to seamlessly take advantage of Account Intent data, win new business and drive account growth at scale," said Charles Crnoevich, VP of Partnerships at Bombora. "With the addition of Bombora Intent data into the RollWorks Starter plan, small and midsize B2B businesses will be equipped to build more strategic account-based programs and compete with the larger fish in their markets. We're excited to expand our partnership to bring intent capabilities to all of RollWorks' customers and deliver proven ROI."

RollWorks + KickFire to prioritize accounts based on buying cycle stage

KickFire is a first-party intent data and IP address intelligence leader. The addition of KickFire's TWIN Caching® IP address intelligence and improved IP matching helps RollWorks provide more accurate account information from marketers' first-party data. Combined with RollWorks Account Fit and Account Intent, it helps marketers prioritize accounts based on their stage in the buying cycle.

"This partnership aligns perfectly with an industry shift toward IP-based intent tracking and ad targeting," said Tina Bean, KickFire Co-Founder. "We're extremely proud that our next level account identification and engagement measurement is a core element of RollWorks' robust and effective platform."

RollWorks + G2 to identify in-market behaviors

Combining G2's Buyer Intent data with RollWorks' fit, intent, and engagement signals, customers of G2 and RollWorks will be able to leverage G2's best-in-class data to identify in-market behavior and power their go-to-market strategies. RollWorks and G2 are targeting winter 2021 to bring this integration live to mutual customers.

"We look forward to kicking off our integration with RollWorks to help marketers better target their messaging, customer success teams retain their valuable customers, and sales close bigger, better deals."

Core ABM

Marketers Given Marginal Grades for ABM-Driven Revenue Growth

GlobeNewswire | January 25, 2024

Seeding and harvesting the sales pipeline — the process of acquiring, capturing, qualifying and converting business opportunities — are essential to the growth and profitability of B2B marketers across every industry and geographic sector. Marketing is largely responsible for driving this business process, yet nearly two-thirds of lead gen and engagement strategies are underperforming. A new Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Council report, produced in collaboration with WM America, entitled “Fire Up Your Revenue Generation Engine,” covers critical aspects of lead generation and engagement. This includes models and metrics for tracking and measuring performance, best practice demand-gen execution, ways to score effectiveness, and more. The latest CMO Council research finds scores of marketers falling behind in lead scoring, account-based marketing, accelerated pipeline, and intention-based marketing. Key findings from a Q4 survey of over 170 B2B marketing, sales, revenue, growth, demand gen and campaign execution leaders include: 63% say marketing must own and optimize a company’s revenue-generation engine 64% say their lead gen and engagement strategy underperforms 78% of highly evolved marketers are satisfied with their accelerated pipeline, compared to only 15% of lesser evolved marketers “In today’s competitive data-driven environment, marketers should no longer be satisfied with paltry returns on their sizable lead-gen and ABM investments,” the report notes. “It’s time to turn the tables on inefficient, ineffective, and outdated practices for anticipating, adapting, and responding to customer needs and opportunities.” “Marketers must climb the evolutionary ladder and leave behind outmoded and dated practices,” notes CMO Council executive director, Donovan Neale-May. “Using AI-derived, intention-based buyer data and advanced sales intelligence are among the ways growth marketers bring more precision, predictability, and performance to B2B account marketing investments.” The CMO Council’s research revealed the top five skill sets contributing to improved ABM-driven business outcomes: Better segmentation and precision targeting of buyers and influencers On-demand customer business intelligence and personal buyer insights Tighter integration of demand gen, channel, direct sales, and support teams Greater utilization of tools and data sources for richer prospect profiling Proactive and timely pre-sales follow up and cultivation strategies The CMO Council has uncovered widening gaps in performance between highly evolved marketers and lesser evolved marketers. Gaps are occurring in four core capabilities: lead scoring, account-based marketing, accelerated pipeline, and intention-based marketing. This report tiers factors that make up a model for better identification, engagement and conversion. The model coincides with the CMO Council and WM America’s thought leadership initiative to advance lead revenue science practices through a certified Lead Evaluation and Assurance Process, or LEAP model. “Marketers will need to take a few LEAPs of faith in the coming months, because sticking to the status quo is just not practical or possible anymore. As data becomes more critical than ever before, CMOs need to extend their visions for innovation and forward-thinking strategies,” according to Lee Salem, WM America’s Vice President of Sales. Methodology The report is based on a survey of over 170 heads of B2B marketing, sales, revenue, growth, demand gen and campaign execution in Q4 2023. It also included content from in-depth interviews with executives from Netline, Autodesk, T-Mobile, NTT, ABM Consortium, TechTarget, IBM, B2B Marketing, Reachdesk, Momentum ITSMA, and Xometry.
