G2 and ZoomInfo
G2, the world's largest and most trusted software marketplace, today announced a new integration with ZoomInfo, a global leader in modern go-to-market software, data, and intelligence. Together, G2 and ZoomInfo enable mutual intent data customers to more effectively target, engage, and convert in-market software buyers. The integration helps sales and marketing teams align their activities against a targeted set of in-market decision-makers.

"In 2022, the B2B industry is taking a magnifying glass to software spend," said Godard Abel, CEO and co-founder, G2. "For sales and marketing teams vying for those budgets, getting in front of their ideal customers at the right time is as crucial as remaining omnipresent and extending market influence. It's no longer on the marketing or sales teams alone to make an impact on a purchasing decision. With an aligned strategy, teams can work together to be a consistent source of value for target audiences — capturing attention through personalized outreach to all members of a prospective buying committee."

With G2 Buyer Intent, customers gain account-level insight into buyer behavior on the G2 marketplace. This means they can see exactly which accounts are conducting software research and when, as well as what kind of research they're performing on G2, whether it's about their company, their competitors, or alternative solutions.

By integrating with the wealth of intelligence in ZoomInfo's SalesOS solution, G2 customers can access more than 300 attributes to build their ideal customer profile (ICP) and overlay actionable insights — such as planned technology investments, personnel moves, and website visitor behavior — to identify companies that are in-market now. Sales representatives can then utilize ZoomInfo's category-leading contact information to prospect lists of decision-makers at high-intent accounts before beginning outreach.

ZoomInfo MarketingOS users can dynamically populate audience segments with G2 Buyer Intent data and trigger targeted display and social ads. Campaigns will see higher conversion rates and return on ad spend (ROAS) by targeting accounts with high buyer propensity.

"Economic uncertainty is forcing companies to discover innovative, efficient solutions to drive revenue," said Henry Schuck, ZoomInfo Founder and CEO. "By integrating G2 Buyer Intent with ZoomInfo's platform, sales and marketing teams can target their outreach to drive higher value conversations and exceed their revenue goals."

By integrating G2 Buyer Intent with ZoomInfo, sales teams can:
  • Prioritize accounts actively researching solutions and vendors. Buyer Intent data from G2 tells a company which prospective accounts are researching its products, competitors, and category. Access to those accounts in ZoomInfo provides a seamless transition from intent discovery to sales outreach.
  • Find professional buyers and influencers with a high likelihood to engage. By matching accounts actively researching relevant pages on G2 with contact data from ZoomInfo, and using additional filters like job title and geography, sales teams can confidently direct outreach to the right targets.
  • Tailor messaging to behavior. With insight on what a target audience is researching and the business topics on their mind, sales teams can build relevant messaging, such as product-specific outreach for accounts visiting their G2 profile. They can also build new audiences by sharing educational content with first time visitors to their category and industry topics.
  • Reduce churn risk by monitoring customer intent 24x7. Sales teams receive signals when G2 detects that a paying customer is researching a competitor or alternative product. Teams can mobilize to understand the issue, provide solutions, and maintain a great customer experience.
By integrating G2 Buyer Intent with ZoomInfo, marketing teams can:
  • Build effective ABM campaigns. ZoomInfo's MarketingOS can serve targeted display and social campaigns at new companies that show buying intent on specific product, industry, and category pages on G2, filling their marketing funnel with accounts that have a high likelihood of making a purchase.
  • Optimize spend and increase ROAS. G2 insights trigger MarketingOS campaigns exactly when buyers are in-market. With additional ZoomInfo ICP and technographic filters, customers can capture their most valuable and convertible pipeline.
  • Personalize ad content for buying behavior. Customers can serve personalized, pre-built ads based on where and how accounts are showing interest on G2.com. For instance, if an account is viewing competitors and alternatives, customers can target those accounts with content that speaks to product differentiation and advantages.

Madison Logic Launches ABM Connected TV to Unify Account-Based Marketing with Enhanced Targeting and Revenue Impact Visibility

PRWeb | September 27, 2023

Madison Logic, the leading global digital Account-Based Marketing (ABM) platform, today announced the launch of ABM Connected TV (ABM CTV), a new digital channel that harnesses the company's industry-leading data-driven approach to more precisely target and surround buyers wherever they are. By combining the precision and power of ABM with the reach and scale of television, B2B marketers drive more awareness and higher engagement from pipeline to revenue with ABM Connected TV as part of their multi-channel, account-based approach. The B2B buying process has evolved over the last few years making it more difficult for marketers to engage target accounts. Purchase decisions for complex B2B solutions include more committee members, take more time, and are driven by more independent digital research. Gartner suggests sales reps only have 5% of a customer's time during their B2B buying journey, leaving it up to marketing teams to tell the solution story through content and messaging that speaks directly to the buying committee needs. As more buyers work from home and utilize digital channels for a self-driven buying experience, Connected TV (CTV)—which includes Smart TV's and other devices that allow brands to reach their audiences through internet targeting—helps surround key decision-makers with content and messaging. "Buyers today are harder to reach than ever before; marketers can no longer risk focusing on individual channels to succeed," said Tom O'Regan, CEO of Madison Logic. "With superior targeting capabilities fueled by our industry-leading intent data, we empower marketers to identify in-market accounts, drive higher awareness, and ultimately maximize their media investment by engaging buyers through a unified approach that now adds CTV to their multi-channel ABM strategy. This is an exciting new chapter for Madison Logic as we continue to innovate and shape the future of B2B marketing." Enterprise marketers leveraging CTV as part of a data-driven, multi-channel ABM strategy accelerate the buying journey from awareness to demand conversion by reaching accounts faster with multiple touchpoints. Madison Logic ABM Connected TV benefits include: Enhanced Targeting: Directly target in-market account prospects, ensuring messaging is seen by the right audience on CTV. Unified Activation: Amplify an existing multichannel ABM approach by adding CTV to surround prospects through the centralized ML Platform. Clear Measurement: Track the performance of every dollar spent, linking CTV media investment to pipeline growth and revenue impact. Madison Logic has made CTV an exciting and measurable part of our unified ABM marketing strategy, said Maggie Galster, Global Marketing Automation & Paid Media Manager at Schneider Electric. "We can now seamlessly target prospects on CTV as part of our multi-channel ABM campaigns. The ability to target accounts at a granular level with tracking of engagement and performance on a single platform makes it easier to visualize the impact of our cross-channel ABM approach. We're seeing increased account engagement from the organizations we've targeted with CTV as part of our multi-channel campaign." Madison Logic is the only ABM solution to unify the four primary B2B channels—content syndication, display advertising, social advertising with LinkedIn, and now CTV—into a centralized platform that enables enterprise B2B marketers to activate multi-channel ABM campaigns and achieve comprehensive visibility into program performance. Leveraging ML Insights, which combines three independent signals into a single intent score, marketers more easily determine which accounts to engage, the key personas within these accounts, and the content most likely to drive account engagement and pipeline impact. Through a more targeted data-driven, multi-channel ABM approach with Madison Logic, marketers report a 32% lift in engagement, a 28% faster sales cycle, and a 17% increase in pipeline. About Madison Logic The ML Platform, a global multi-channel ABM activation and measurement platform, enables enterprise organizations to leverage a proprietary combined data set to identify the accounts most likely to purchase, accelerate the customer journey, and shorten sales cycles to positively impact ROI. Madison Logic empowers B2B marketers to convert their best accounts faster by finding and engaging with the most influential individuals throughout the buyer's journey.
