Lead Generation

Lead generation campaign objectives will differ depending on the timescale and the type of leads being generated. For highly filtered real-time campaigns the main objective is to convert as many customers into a sale in the shortest possible timeframe to generate a short-term return on investment. At the same time, interested customers that do not convert immediately into business can be used to form a more long term customer acquisition strategy and by remarketing to these consumers, lead buyers will see incremental conversions over time that will impact upon the ROI from the initial campaign. For shorter form lead types the objectives may be more long term whereby the advertiser is effectively collecting a highly-targeted database of prospective customers which can be used for further marketing purposes and customer acquisition.

As ABM adoption spreads, marketers find new value in data-driven insights

whitePaper | October 31, 2022

Conceived in the early 2000s as a way to bring marketing and sales organizations together around a teambased approach to nurturing their most important accounts, ABM is now used by 70% of marketers, up from just 15% a year ago, according to HubSpot. Technology marketers have taken a particular interest in ABM, given the complex factors that influence IT purchases. Foundry’s second global survey of 500 B2B technology marketers found that satisfaction with ABM continues to be high, particularly at the largest companies. While most organizations are still early in their adoption journey, the results to date indicate that ABM is on track to not only become a mainstream marketing discipline but even displace more traditional methods.

The Marketer’s Roadmap To Mature Omnichannel Account-Based Experiences

whitePaper | June 10, 2022

Responsive buyer experiences and relevant content across channels have always been the top criteria for mature, highperforming, omnichannel account-based orchestrations. But much of today’s conversation revolves around linear, top-down campaigns, where the target account is placed in a marketing or sales play, operating within a siloed platform throughout the buyer’s journey. The result is often antithetical to the desired buyer “experience.” Operating without the necessary data management, intent, prediction, and consistent personalization, these platforms cannot deliver high-performing orchestration simply by slapping a new name on the same old ABM technology. In a rush to accelerate the delivery of “account-based experiences” (ABX), the platforms that support it have become a critical bottleneck, creating yet another siloed system that adds to the complexity and undermines the outcomes it is intended to improve.
