Overview
Building target account audiences in the Demandbase ABM Platform enables you to use and manage them for key ABM campaigns throughout the buyer journey. Once you create audiences in the ABM Platform, you can manage and use them from one central location across all funnel stages for advertising, site personalization, sales team insights, and measuring the effectiveness of your ABM tactics.
Create an Audience
Demandbase gives you two options to quickly build a new audience of target accounts in the ABM Platform. These options are available from the Create New Audience button located on the Audiences page.
There are two options for creating an audience:
- Use an existing account list: This option lets you upload your existing list of target accounts in CSV file format or import target accounts from your CRM data.
- Create a new account list: Use this option to let Demandbase artificial intelligence (AI) technology recommend target accounts for you. You can also filter your audience using firmographic data including: employee size, revenue range, industry and location. In addition, you can filter by Intent and Engagement data including: Page Views, With Trending On-site Engagement, Last seen on-site, Intent Keywords and With Trending Off-site Intent. Before you create your audience you also have the option to save this audience account list as a dynamic audience or a static audience.
- A dynamic audience is a list of accounts that changes based on behaviors or rules you specify. What makes the audience dynamic is that the accounts included in the audience change as criteria are met. For example, if you specify that you only want accounts that have visited your web page in the last 30 days, then as time passes, only the accounts that fit that criteria will be included in the audience list. See Working with Dynamic Audiences to learn more about working with Dynamic Audiences.
- A static audience is a list of accounts that have met your initial criteria but do not change over time.
