Experts Sound Off On Growing Importance Of People-Based Targeting, Intent-Based Monitoring
As B2B buyers grow evermore demanding of a relevant, contextual buying experience, marketing teams must move away from the audience-based targeting approach often synonymous with display advertising and use the data and insights they have on prospects in key accounts to target down to the one-to-one level.
In a marketplace seemingly dominated by email, display advertising has gained a deeper appreciation by B2B marketing teams looking to stay top-of-mind with top-tier accounts and help continue their buying journey. Research from Demand Gen Report shows that the majority (68%) of B2B buyers notice ads from the solution provider they chose during the research process. Of those who noticed the winning vendors' ads, 37% of them said those ads positively impacted their view of the company.
