Revolutionizing B2B Advertising, Demandbase Launches the First-Ever B2B-Specific Connected TV Solution

PR Newswire | July 26, 2023

Demandbase, the Smarter GTM™ company that uses AI to help B2B organizations hit their revenue goals, today launches the first-ever Connected TV (CTV) advertising solution tailored specifically for B2B advertisers, using its proprietary Piper B2B DSP. 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. We're thrilled to serve our customers with a dynamic tool to enhance their GTM strategies and elevate sales performance." Demandbase's Piper B2B DSP, named for influencing Pipeline and Revenue, has the unique ability to: Target the right audience with a pertinent B2B message, powered by Demandbase's account identification capabilities. This results in minimal waste of the advertising budget across ad channels, including Demandbase's new connected TV offering, a feat impossible with linear or traditional TV. Plan and execute automated advertising campaigns based on a complete spectrum of data, ranging from account engagement levels to buyer intent and journey stage. Track campaign performance at both the account and individual levels with unparalleled granularity. "We're excited to bring CTV into our targeted B2B advertising programs," said Steven Mendes, director of brand & acquisition marketing at Cambia Health Solutions. "We're always looking to identify new ways to engage our audiences that are most aligned to their media consumption habits, preferences and lifestyles. Expanding into CTV will help us maximize our brand reach potential and give us the opportunity to showcase our brand in a whole new context." Demandbase has also released its new 'State of B2B Advertising' Report. The report unveils current market trends in B2B advertising, predicts the rise of bots and invalid traffic, discusses the deprecation of cookies on Chrome, and provides actionable recommendations for 2023 and 2024. Highlights include: Analysis of over 500 million web sessions in 2022, including looking at which traffic sources bring the highest (and lowest) amount of account-based traffic The importance of modern B2B measurement Predictions for future B2B advertising trends and how companies should be preparing for them now About Demandbase Demandbase helps B2B companies hit their revenue goals using fewer resources.

Demandbase Releases Its 2023 C-Suite Go-to-Market Benchmark Survey

PR Newswire | August 10, 2023

Demandbase, the Smarter GTM™ company that uses AI to help B2B organizations hit their revenue goals, today announces the results of its 2023 C-Suite Go-to-Market (GTM) Benchmark Survey in partnership with Demand Gen Report. The survey gathered responses from 200 high-level B2B leaders across marketing and sales to better understand how the industry is changing and the GTM approaches that separate successful companies from the rest. Through this research, Demandbase uncovered how teams are handling the current economic landscape, trends in their technology use, the GTM strategies and practices that are driving growth, and more. "In the year since our last survey, we've seen increased challenges in the B2B industry, but there has been just as much — if not more — progress," says Jon Miller, chief marketing officer at Demandbase. "Many companies are being forced to cut budgets, but our research reveals that tech stacks are the least likely to be cut, demonstrating that teams recognize technology's value in driving efficiency. Additionally, more leaders are viewing GTM through a broader lens than they did in 2022, which is paving the way for greater internal alignment and a more holistic approach to campaigns and tactics. Overall, B2B leaders are recognizing that what worked in the past isn't working today, causing them to place a premium on efficiency and, ultimately, a Smarter GTM™." Important findings from the report include: Key Priorities that Promote Growth & Efficiency Respondents marked customer acquisition and customer expansion as the top two efforts they rely upon most to drive growth. Leaders indicated their top three priorities are improving alignment (66%), increasing win rates (63%), and increasing marketing investments (56%). Leaders were also more likely to cater to self-service needs than laggards, with many reporting they've enabled such options to streamline operations. In particular, they're using demo videos (48%), interactive demos (41%), online calculators (40%), and product tours (39%). An Evolving View of Metrics The primary metrics that marketers are being measured on today include total revenue (18%), marketing qualified leads (MQL) (16%), marketing-influenced revenue (12%), and marketing-sourced revenue (10%). SDR and BDR success is primarily being tracked by activity (35%), opportunities (34%), meetings (17%), and points-based (10%). Internal Alignment Relied on to Increase Efficiency Encouragingly, 52% of respondents reported that they do not struggle with alignment, with roughly half of sales responders saying they're aligned with marketing and roughly half of marketers saying they're aligned with sales. While this shows improvement over last year, it still means that nearly half have work to do in this area that can help drive efficiency and results. Of those who continue to struggle with alignment, their top challenges include looking at different data/operating in different systems (45%), being measured on different metrics (37%), poor handoffs (33%), and lack of communication (25%). These are roughly in line with the primary challenges from last year's study, reinforcing the fact that these issues must be addressed if companies are to achieve greater alignment. The Changing Data Landscape Data has become necessary for nearly all elements of modern marketing, but the survey revealed that practitioners are still facing difficulties with getting it right. Specifically, respondents cited the following challenges: data quality (dirty, out of date, duplicates) (55%), missing or incomplete information (50%), disconnected/siloed data sources (40%), actioning data (34%), and an inability to digest data the way they want (34%). While the first four obstacles were also cited in last year's study, the inability to digest data how they'd like to is a new — and far-reaching — problem brought to the surface this year. Today, third-party data is primarily being used for competitive intelligence (61%), account prioritization (55%), personalizing messaging and outreach (54%), account selection (43%), and timing engagement (28%). This last number reveals that almost 75% of respondents are missing a great opportunity to use intent data to show up at the right time, when buyers are in-market and most likely to buy. Based on the results of the 2023 C-Suite Go-to-Market (GTM) Benchmark Survey, it's clear that successful B2B organizations today are focused on improving their GTM strategies to address the uncertainties presented by an unstable economy. Leaders shared many priorities and approaches, including incorporating third-party data, adopting a singular platform/data source, viewing GTM through the lens of all revenue-generating activities, investing in technology and efficiency, and prioritizing self-service buying experiences. About Demandbase Demandbase helps B2B companies hit their revenue goals using fewer resources. How? By using the power of AI to identify and engage the accounts and buying groups most likely to purchase.
