RollWorks Partnered with Bombora to Launch Account Intent

At a Glance:
  • Marketers can now combine Account Fit with Account Intent to prioritize the right accounts for marketing outreach

  • Account Intent identifies accounts that are actively researching a product or service with the intent to buy.

  • RollWorks chose to partner with Bombora because its Company Surge ® Score data uniquely measures intent signals across many data and content sources.


RollWorks, a division of NextRoll, Inc., today announced the launch of Account Intent within their Identification solution in the RollWorks Account-Based Platform. Account Intent identifies accounts that are actively researching a product or service with the intent to buy. RollWorks has partnered with Bombora, the leading intent data provider, in order to deliver the Account Intent feature and Bombora’s patented Company Surge ® Score to RollWorks customers. The Bombora Company Surge ® Score indicates the intensity to which a business has intent to purchase based on the intensity of content consumption compared to ‘normal’ as measured against a historical baseline. This increased content consumption is indicative of the research that happens within a business prior to buying. The Company Surge ® Score will be incorporated in the RollWorks platform indicating the level of intent for a particular account.

RollWorks is dedicated to the mission of making ABM work for companies through the power of account data and machine learning.

Justin Cooperman, vice president of product, RollWorks


“With the launch of Account Intent we continue to strengthen the account data foundation within the RollWorks Account-Based platform. Customers will now be able to integrate Account Fit, Account Engagement, and Account Intent into how they prioritize the accounts that matter most. During this period of economic uncertainty it’s more important than ever that marketing and sales teams align to focus investments around the accounts with the highest likelihood of buying from them.”

With only 17% of B2B buyers’ time spent engaging with potential suppliers during a purchase cycle, Account Intent provides critical visibility for identifying in market companies and is an essential component of a successful account-based strategy. To increase opportunity creation marketers need to understand and implement Account Fit, Account Engagement and Account Intent.

The RollWorks Account-Based Platform empowers B2B marketing teams with a deeper understanding of their prospects:


• Account Fit is a measure of how well an account matches a company’s ideal customer profile. Not every account will be the right fit for a company’s solution. Firmographic and technographic factors such as geography, industry, revenue, annual growth rate, number of employees, and existing technologies play an important role in filtering down the accounts that are a fit and worthy of focus from the marketing and sales team.

• Account Engagement is a measure of which accounts are engaging with a business through activities such as email opens, digital advertising views, website visits, webinar registrations, physical events attendance, blog post reads, and online product demos. Not all activity is equal (a product demo is probably a stronger signal than a blog visit). However, aggregating activity from all the people who are interacting with a company at the account level is critical so that the marketing and sales teams can respond rapidly when engagement is spiking. Speed matters in this digital, always-on world.

• Account Intent is a measure of which accounts are engaging with a solution area regardless of whether that account is already engaging with your business. Intent is measured through buyers consuming business content relevant to a solution area or topic. B2B buyers often consume content from 10-15 sources, and 80%+ of them are influenced by this content in their purchase decision. This is intent: accounts showing strong interest through their web behavior in your solution area but not yet engaging with your business. These are the accounts that are traditionally invisible to marketers.

“We are thrilled that this partnership with Bombora allows our customers to take advantage of Account Intent data in a seamless way within the RollWorks Account-Based Platform so they can win new business and drive account growth at scale,” said Mike Stocker, vice president of strategic partnerships, RollWorks.

B2B organizations of all sizes are adopting Intent data because the ROI is proven.

Mike Burton, co-founder and senior vice president at Bombora.


“Having data that best reflects changes in prospect and customer interest is the first step. The ability to act on – and truly operationalize – Intent data at scale is a prerequisite to improving marketing performance. This new integration with RollWorks along with their mission of democratizing ABM, will dramatically expand the accessibility and usability of Intent data.”

Account Intent is available within the RollWorks Standard, Professional, and Ultimate packages. RollWorks customers on these packages will be able to subscribe to topics, monitor intent on those topics, prioritize accounts in a target account list showing a surge in intent on topics, and engage those surging accounts through targeted digital advertising. The number of topics and the number of accounts with Company Surge ® Scores will vary across the packages.

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.
