“One of our guiding principles is being data agnostic, so we’ve worked hard to build partnerships with a wide range of the best data providers in the industry. We’re excited to integrate Equifax commercial data into the Leadspace CDP, one of the company data sources with the broadest coverage across the globe,†notes Leadspace CEO, Doug Bewsher. “With this release, we’ve also continued our work applying AI to additional B2B use cases, unifying customers’ internal data and intelligence, and activating all of it across any channel they use to interact with their end customers. The companies we work with are really helping push our platform to new levels with all their innovation.â€
Building on their channel-agnostic vision, Leadspace is also releasing the first of several direct connectors to popular social networks and advertising platforms to fuel more targeted and data-driven audiences. Customers are using these connectors to activate audiences and reach the specific accounts and people that are more likely to buy, using data only available through the Leadspace platform like persona profiles, company fit scoring, intent, technographics, and more. These audiences are fed into the advertising channels, where customers can use the myriad of ad products — like sponsored posts, display ads, and lead forms — to drive more engagement, conversions, and opportunities.
