Posted on May 20, 2023November 8, 2023 by Riaz Kanani

Today, B2B advertising offers many approaches to reaching your target audience. While it has traditionally been much easier for B2C companies (companies that sell to individuals) to target their ideal target audiences, it has been much harder for B2B companies (businesses that sell to other businesses) with a defined customer base to reach their target audience precisely.

B2B companies have niches that are smaller than entire industries and/or company sizes. Their ideal customer profiles are made up of many attributes including industry, company size, current performance, technographics and more.

Use topics to contextualise messaging
Work with sales to notify (via Slack) and design email sequences.

Intent data is now a critical tool in the armoury for sales teams when generating leads. All business-to-business (B2B) companies are constantly seeking new ways to generate high-quality leads and drive revenue growth. Intent data does exactly this.
