Capturing Your Best-Fit Demand

Instead of wasting resources on broad demand gen tactics, smart marketers get laser-focused on targeting and converting their ideal customer profiles (ICPs).

Step 1: Granular ICP Definition

• Analyze your highest-value existing customers and top sales opportunities
• Identify the specific attributes that define your ideal customer profiles (ICPs) like industry, company size, use cases, pain points, buyer roles/titles
• Segment your ICPs into distinct micro-segments based on these granular qualifiers

Step 2: Prioritize In-Market Demand

• Leverage intent data solutions to find accounts actively researching solutions related to the problems your product solves
• Prioritize your demand generation efforts and budgets toward capturing this ultra-engaged, in-market demand cluster

Step 3: Build Targeted Content Assets

• Develop high-value content assets like guides, ROI calculators, nurture streams
• Tailor each asset to the specific needs and messaging that resonates with a particular ICP micro-segment

Step 4: Execute Dedicated Demand Gen Campaigns

• Construct granular demand generation campaigns across channels like PPC, programmatic, social media, etc.
• For each campaign: Segment audiences to target a specific ICP micro-segment
• Customize ad creative and messaging to directly speak to that micro-segment's use cases and pain points

Meticulous Lead Nurturing

With primed leads flowing in, the next focus is nurturing them through an automated, multi-touch journey utilizing behavior triggers and personalization.

1. Map out nurture streams tailored by each lead's micro-segment, persona, funnel stage, and real-time engagement signals. Progressively evolve messaging from educational to validation to purchase justification based on their behavior.
2. Go beyond just email by surrounding leads with a true omnichannel experience leveraging ads, direct mail, notifications, chatbots, and paid social touchpoints based on their real-time activity.
3. Build a library of targeted content assets like assessments, studies, demos, and justification tools. Use lead tracking to automatically trigger the optimal next interaction for advancing desire.

For sales-ready opportunities showing strong purchase intent, seamlessly hand them off from marketing nurture to your sales processes with full context.?

Integrate advanced audience signals, such as in-market audiences, to capture demand from prospects further along the buying cycle. With this focused approach anchored on hyper-relevance, you bypass the commodity keyword auctions and achieve dramatic efficiency gains in driving qualified pipelines at scale.

Targeted Paid Social

Leveraging paid social precision targeting to amplify your demand gen and nurture initiatives at each funnel stage.

At the top, use granular paid social targeting to efficiently capture net-new awareness among specific ICP/intent clusters through thought leadership content.

In the mid-funnel, augment lead nurture flows with retargeting campaigns delivering creative tailored to each lead's latest engagement and progression state.

Map your full buying committee and execute dedicated paid social nurture tracks penetrating the awareness of each stakeholder with messaging specific to their role, use case, and objections.

For late-stage opportunities, run hyper-targeted paid social campaigns aligned to the contacts and roadblocks your closers need to overcome.

And post-sale, continue nurturing customers through paid social showcasing new offerings, expansion motions, and the latest product innovations.

By unifying these three components - targeted demand gen, systematic nurturing, and precision paid social - you create an integrated, full-funnel revenue engine tailored to your ideal customers.
