Triblio announced that it has partnered with Bombora, a B2B intent data provider. The partnership is designed to bring Bombora’s third-party intent data and first-party intent signals into Triblio’s ABM platform — specifically the company’s AI-powered purchase intent scoring capabilities.

Liferay, a digital experience platform provider, recently acquired a controlling interest in Triblio, an ABM company. Liferay also committed to an ongoing investment in Triblio’s ABM programs, although the companies will continue to operate independently. In an exclusive interview with Demand Gen Report, Triblio CEO Andre Yee shared details about how the acquisition came about and what it means for the company and its customers. He also weighed in on whether more mergers and acquisitions among ABM solution providers may be on the horizon in 2019.

In a climate where buyers are expecting and demanding relevant engagement at every touch point, B2B organizations are looking for deeper intelligence on buying signals, even before a prospect visits their website or fills out a registration form.

Demand Gen Report has announced its upcoming Buyer Insights & Intelligence Series. The week-long webcast series will take place July 9-13.

The series is designed to explore new models for identifying, engaging and converting prospects with precision. Experts from Triblio, Lattice Engines, Netline Corporation, Demandbase, Full Circle Insights, LeanData, Bound, TechTarget, Content4Demand, SaleScout, ON24, CaliberMind and Vidyard will share examples and best practices on topics such as:

• Account-based marketing;
• Personalization;
• Content strategy;
• Data strategy, and more!

"We believe the Buyer Insights & Intelligence Series is one of the most important events we produce," said Andrew Gaffney, Editorial Director of Demand Gen Report, in a statement. "The early days of demand generations were largely focused on generating as many leads as possible and setting up campaigns that got buyers to raise their hand. Now, smart marketers realize they have to use a variety of tools and tactics to monitor buyer behavior and identify prospects even before they are willing to fill out a form."

I’m sure you’ve heard about a little marketing strategy called account-based marketing (ABM). You may even be sick of the term. Whatever your thoughts are, it’s hard to deny the benefits of taking an account-first approach. B2B companies far and wide have benefitted from ABM — (enter shameless plug for our sister publication ABM In Action, #sorrynotsorry) — but why should others consider it?
