-B2B Account-based engagementAvailable for all Real-Time CDP B2B and B2P customers.in Prime and Ultimate.

Creating and activating account audiences is a core part of B2B marketing and “account-based marketing” (“ABM”).

Here are some example use-cases:

  • Fill buying-group gaps – use advertising on LinkedIn to target critical decision-makers at companies with open opportunities but where those decision-makers are not contacts by building a segment of accounts with open opportunities but were there are no contacts with the title CMO or COO. 
  • Upsell / cross-sell – cross-sell by advertising the benefits of using 2 products together to companies who bought one of the products between 3 and 9 months ago but who do not own the other product. 
  • Competitive marketing – advertise to companies who own competitive products but where you don’t know any of the people by creating segments leveraging 3rd party account data to show ownership of competing products. 
  • Creating account audiences is like authoring B2B customer audiences, and audience authors can use data from any of the B2B entities in the system. More details available in this help topic. 
  • Account audiences can be activated to destinations that can accept lists of companies, including LinkedIn and cloud storage destinations. More account destinations are under construction and will be available in coming months. More details available in help here.

Destination workflow Improvements - Available for all Real-Time CDP customers in all tiers and editions.

Mapping Field Drag & Drop

Customers can now easily add fields and move them to the desired column position. Effectively, the introduction of this workflow enhancement removes the end-user task of rebuilding the entire mapping when new fields need to be added. 

 

Default Scheduling Options

Based on historical usage patterns, introducing a new default schedule (e.g., daily frequency, full files, present-day start, 7-day duration) as pre-selected criteria. These default conditions significantly reduces the number of end-user clicks needed to create this audience activation requirement.
