Designate Journey Stages for Advertising Funnel

  • Updated

Before you can target your advertising campaigns by Journey Funnel in Campaign Builder Step 2: Journey Targeting, you must designate the Journey Stages that align with your advertising funnel.

Demandbase uses these designations to automatically populate the corresponding Journey Funnel areas in Campaign Builder.

You can assign Journey Stages to four advertising funnel milestones:

  • Awareness: Top-of-the-funnel stages.
  • Acquisition: Middle-of-the-funnel stages.
  • Acceleration: Bottom-of-the-funnel stages.
  • Customer: Post-customer stages.

The following table shows an example of how to assign Journey Stages to advertising funnel milestones.
