Better Data & Insights Help Reach the Right Targets for Less
Bidtellect is on a mission to deliver ads that work for its clients and to facilitate efficiency in ad buying, selling, and delivery across the web. One of their clients was a regional financial services company, who needed to increase engagement with their thought leadership content on their website by driving traffic from key decision-makers in the financial industry. The client also needed to track ad engagement to ensure their conversions were coming from the right targets.
The foundation to delivering effective ad targeting is having the right customer data to build ideal customer profiles and precise audiences, plus the ability to automate segmentation for scale. Bidtellect knew that Dun & Bradstreet was among the top options to enable targeting the right buyers, but wanted to test that.
Bidtellect ran a three-month head-to-head performance test using Dun & Bradstreet’s top-tier audiences of decision-makers. They layered in additional segmentation criteria to restrict the scope of the test to the Technology and Food & Agribusiness verticals, as well as including their customer’s list of B2B Key Accounts.
Bidtellect’s Goals
Bidtellect ultimately needed to drive engagement to articles positioning their client as thought leaders in environmentally friendly investing. In particular, they wanted to target audiences of decision-makers in the technology and food and agribusiness industries, as well as key accounts that were up and mid-market.
They had an overall budget of $83,750, and their target was a 70 to 75 percent viewability rate and a ballpark cost per site visit of $8 to $20 for display and $2 for social ads.
Results of the Test: Dun & Bradstreet Wins
After the performance testing concluded, it was apparent that the Dun & Bradstreet audience segments brought in more qualified traffic and generated more engagements from qualified visitors.
Using Dun & Bradstreet’s qualified audiences in combination with Bidtellect’s context-driven targeting and optimization capabilities, Bidtellect was able to successfully target decision-makers in the desired industries, plus scale across devices.
They achieved 82 percent viewability of ads – exceeding their goal – and saw a cumulative cost per site visit of just $2.98, well below their previous cost of between $8 and $20.
Ultimately, Bidtellect was able to bring in more qualified traffic and generate more engagements from qualified visitors than the other vendor with the help of Dun & Bradstreet’s high-quality audiences.
