Influ2 offers contact-level advertising.
It allows you to show ads to specific named buyers across multiple ad networks and know who saw and clicked your ads, even if they never filled out a form. They're the same contacts your sales team is targeting, because you're pulling them straight from your CRM.
When prospects engage with your ads, it creates contact-level intent data your sales team can use to understand who to prioritize for outreach and what to say.
Syncing with your CRM also allows you to map your ads to each contact's stage in the sales process, meaning Marketing can help influence deals across the entire sales cycle.
We also show you how your contact-level ads influenced pipeline and revenue.
