Terminus has announced its acquisition of the account-based chat solution Ramble to increase response time and results with ABM clients through real-time chat capabilities.

New research conducted by Forrester Consulting and commissioned by Terminus revealed the account-based marketing platform provides customer benefits that add up to a net present value (NPV) of $1.6M and ROI of 313%.

Terminus acquired Sigstr, bringing together two teams that are making great strides in the ABM marketplace. Tim Kopp, CEO of Terminus, and Bryan Wade, CEO of Sigstr, both agreed that the time to gain a 360-degree view of accounts and building meaningful relationships is… now!

Terminus has acquired Sigstr, the employee email marketing platform that turns 1:1 employee emails into brand engagements. The addition of Sigstr creates an end-to-end account-centric marketing platform with an array of account intelligence available. All Sigstr employees will become Terminus employees. Bryan Wade, CEO of Sigstr, will also join the executive team at Terminus.

Bringing the unique perspective of the investment community as well as having built one of the top brands in the marketing automation category, Tim Kopp was announced as the CEO and chairman of Terminus this week.

Terminus has revealed new updates to its ABM platform that aim to help B2B marketers combine more data sources, automate outreach and improve current account-based reporting capabilities. Features include new ad automation, native intent data features and advanced conversion tracking capabilities designed to enhance account targeting and engagement.
