Reference: Job Level and Job Function Categorization

  • Updated

You can target ads to people who Demandbase associates with certain job levels and job functions. The Campaign Builder of Demandbase Advertising lets you select from a range of categories for each of the two job dimensions. 

The job level and job function categories that you can select for people-based advertising mirror the job information taxonomy from Demandbase Sales Intelligence. In fact, the Advertising solution uses Sales Intelligence records to check if people associated with accounts on your list possess the targeted attribute (a job level or function that you selected to reach in the ad campaign) when the Demandbase DSP determines whether to prioritize an impression.

See Understanding Match Rates to learn more about how Sales Intelligence collects job roles and other information about people.
