💡 Step 1 | Cognism Prospector + Bombora Intent Data = ❤️

Open Cognism Prospector. Our Bombora integration lives under our Intent tab, but is now visible in multiple handy areas of the platform.

  • The easiest route is to remain in Prospector, and head to the ‘Company’ tab
  • The Intent dropdown can be found on the left-hand side of the screen, and from here you can input the topics you’re tracking against and filter to show the companies you should be targeting

💡 Step 2 | What do your topics mean to you?

💡 Step 3 | Supplying your LinkedIn campaigns with the data they deserve…

For our experiment, we determined that 13 Companies showed intent worthy of our attention on LinkedIn, so the natural next step is to do just that.

  • Over in LinkedIn: Campaign Manager → Content Campaign for companies that are showing Intent for Cold Calling or Sales Intelligence → Consideration → Website Visits
  • ADD Relevant ICP Filters (Job Functions, Titles, Exclusions, etc)
  • Wait for your results to start trickling in… 🥳

💡 Step 4 | Day 30: So… what’s new?

  • After 1 month, our average CTR was 0.54% - with the same Ad content and format as previously tested
  • In our normal Enterprise Campaigns, our CTR stands at 0.48% showing an uplift of 1.5x better engagement rate

What does this mean for you and your Marketing campaigns as a Cognism customer? And what does it mean for you and your Marketing campaigns if you aren’t a Cognism Customer…yet?

Simple. You’re better off with Intent Data.

Reach more of your relevant target audience exactly when the time is right and make your Ad spend unquestionable.
