Influ2

Please tell us about your current role and the team you handle. How did you arrive at the company? I’m the CEO and co-founder of Influ2. When I started my first IT outsourcing business, which is now called GlobalLogic, I tried to apply everything that I had learned from being a consumer marketer, but I soon realized that B2B marketing is fundamentally different. A lot of what works for B2C doesn’t work for B2B, and this was what inspired me to found Influ2. It answered the question that I had been contemplating for almost…

Account-based marketing (ABM) has been around for over a decade, first introduced by ITSMA in 2004. It was created “to help marketers stop generic sales pitches and zero in on the essential needs of their most important clients.” Now, 15 years later, we are finally in a place where companies incorporate ABM into their marketing strategies and budgets. Yet, as with every relatively new technique, many marketers are still struggling with measuring the effectiveness of their ABM campaigns, especially scoring accounts before…

Talk to Your Salespeople Instead. Let me share my biggest pain, the nightmare that is still keeping me up at night. Two years ago, when we launched Influ2, winning the first few customers was easy. Our product, person-based ads, was new and exciting. No one had ever done it before, so naturally many enterprise marketers were anxious to take it for a spin. But, these “wins” were delusions. What do you do as a digital marketer when you come across a new technology? You conduct an experiment. Spending a few thousand…

How much has the Account-Based Marketing evolved in the last 12-18 months? ABM is still a work in progress. It is a growing trend and there has definitely been more interest towards it in the industry. More companies are devoting resources to ABM, both people-wise and budget-wise. However, there is still a lot of confusion in regards to ABM's impact and how to measure it. I'd say there has been a lot more experimenting with ABM in the last year and that created even more demand for a more precise data and actionable…
