Conclusion

Chapter 1

Introduction

Twenty years ago, when B2B marketers were just beginning to leverage behavioral targeting in their digital ad spends, few could’ve ever imagined how influential targeting data would eventually become. These days, nearly all digital campaigns use data to target their specific audiences.

Not too long ago, ad buyers might’ve said, “I need to reach senior executives working at organizations with more than 5,000 employees, or generating more than a billion in annual revenue.” And then they would’ve found that The Wall Street Journal had one of the highest concentrations of their audience (even though many readers were not part of their audience).

Today, audience data lets them target only the audience they care about, eliminating potentially wasted investments.

Objective-based advertising, in which advertisers build ad campaigns around specific business goals, makes this easier than ever. By setting objectives, systems are able to both improve reporting — they report against your specific objective — and implement some level of automatic optimization to improve results.

Chapter 2

Where the B2B Action Is: Social Networks

A savvy combination of behavioral and objective-based advertising empowers revenue teams to be highly targeted and effective with their advertising.

Social networks excel at supporting these business goals, and of the bunch, B2B leaders prefer investing in LinkedIn ads over those on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.

Nearly 85% of buying teams use LinkedIn as part of their purchase process
4 out of 5 LinkedIn members drive business decisions
LinkedIn’s audience also has 2x the buying power of the average web audience

One factor above all often informs why revenue teams invest in LinkedIn: the depth, richness, and quality of LinkedIn’s user data, which enables ad buyers to target B2B audiences with more

Chapter 3

LinkedIn’s Data Quality = Superior Targeting

This is because LinkedIn’s data is different. LinkedIn members are incentivized to provide accurate information about themselves to help grow their professional networks, improve their professional development, look for jobs, and more.

With visibility into granular contact information like skills, job history, education, and interests, advertisers can engage accounts with unparalleled precision.

With LinkedIn, revenue teams can create ads that exclusively target professionals who use Marketo. Or Salesforce. Or who attended Wharton from 1980 to 1988. No other social platform provides this kind of precise targeting for B2B sellers.

6sense is the only revenue technology platform that captures intent signals from every known and anonymous source, and connects it all to prospect accounts. It delivers complete insight into the buying journey.

6sense’s patented AI platform scores over a quarter-billion accounts and people every day in order to reconstruct the account-based buyer journey for your business, monitoring and analyzing changes in buyer intent at a massive scale.

Chapter 4

The Importance of In-Market Data to Prioritize Ad Spend

Marketers have been buying digital ads for decades, yet still struggle to properly prioritize audiences and budgets. That’s because the audience is bigger than ever, the ads are expensive, and we never have enough money to reach all the constituents we want to reach. We have to prioritize our investments.

A powerful — and differentiating — combination of 6sense + LinkedIn is a revenue team’s ability to target companies that are in-market for a solution now. This allows for prioritizing certain accounts while continuing to use all the other targeting data LinkedIn offers.

This ability to target based on timing isn’t otherwise available in LinkedIn.

When buying teams are tasked with finding products or solutions for their organizations, they spend time conducting research online anonymously on third-party sites, such as industry publications, blogs, social networks, and product review sites like G2 and TrustRadius.

On their own, advertisers can’t detect this invaluable-yet-invisible data. But 6sense’s platform can illuminate and analyze it. Through AI and machine learning, the platform automatically determines who is in-market now and most likely to buy from you, giving you new tools for prioritizing ad spending and improving ad performance.

Dynamic 6sense segments are available for any LinkedIn campaign and provide new insights, including:

Unparalleled visibility into where buyers are in their respective journeys (we call these
“in-market” stages)
The topics buyers are most interested in (or concerned about) based on their journey stage
Timing on when buyers may — or may not — be interested in personalized engagement

These data points, plus many others, are accessible in real time through 6sense and actionable through our LinkedIn integration. Revenue teams have greater control over the types of accounts and buyers to target.

This control minimizes ad spend and maximizes ad impact. With the power of predictive analytics, 6sense customers:

Perform nearly 2x better than the standard LinkedIn clickthrough rate benchmark
And at costs 13% lower for cost per click than LinkedIn’s CPC benchmark

6 Campaign ‘Recipes’ That Deliver Game-Changing Engagement

When you combine the robust audience data from LinkedIn with the intent signals from 6sense, you can engage the right customers for your solution with the right message, right when they’re ready to buy. Here are step-by-step instructions for creating campaigns that address five unique use cases.

Recipe #1: LinkedIn Lead Gen Campaigns

Lower your cost-per-lead by targeting in-market accounts that are currently researching specific and relevant keywords associated with your business. (At 6sense, we use the term “in-market” to represent moments in a buyer’s journey where their interest in buying intersects with their interest in your solution.)

In this example, we’re using keywords associated with ABM that would be related to your business and/or competitors.

1. 6sense segment filters used:

Keywords Researched (used to ensure relevancy and timeliness of ad content)
In-Market Stage: Decision and Purchase

2. LinkedIn campaign objective(s):

Lead Generation
Website Conversion (preferred for future retargeting capability and higher quality conversions)

3. LinkedIn audience targeting:

Your typical buyer persona

4. LinkedIn Ad type:

Single image ad

Content to use:

Middle- to bottom-of-funnel assets:
- Ebooks
- Buying guides
- Case studies or customer stories
