Onboarding: Advertising campaigns to help complement your ABM program

When using ABM coupled with Advertising, you will have the ability to make your advertising more targeted and maximize spend. Check out the different types of campaigns and Playbooks you can run to complement your ABM strategy.

Launch an Account Targeting Program

 To launch an Account Targeting program RollWorks offers two options:

  1. Launch an Account Targeting Playbook (recommended)
  2. Launch an Account Targeting Campaign
Choose a Playbook if... Choose a Campaign if...
  • You want an easy and simple way to manage your advertising campaigns on your own.
  • You want RollWorks machine learning to recommend the ideal budget based on your audience.
  • You want to launch a set of highly customized campaigns that are not currently supported with Playbooks.
  • You want to customize the audience segments to exclude and target in a way that is not currently supported with our Playbooks.

Playbooks allows you to serve web ads to specific buyer personas based on the Job Function, Seniority, and user-level Bombora Intent Topics defined within your defined Target Accounts. 

You will select the account lists and account groups based on the segmentation use cases we outlined in the strategy setup article.  As a refresher, the most common use cases include:

  • ICP Fit Grade and Intent signals to target unaware and engaged accounts. You can expand from there based on your available budget.
  • Create an Account Group based on the ‘Sales Ready’ journey stage.

The Account Targeting Playbook includes 2 individual campaigns 1.) Unaware and 2.) Aware.  We recommend aligning your ad creative for each campaign.

Launch a Website Retargeting Program

In addition to Account Targeting, we recommend running a complimentary Website Retargeting as a part of your advertising strategy. Website retargeting allows you to serve ads to users that have already visited your website, with the goal of generating form-fill leads.

Some common use cases include:

  • Re-engage all your website visitors to keep your brand and product top of mind for everyone who has visited your website at least once.
  • Re-engage specific web page visitors: Create specific ad creatives for different groups of visitors to boost performance. For example:
    • visitors who have viewed specific product pages.
    • visitors who have viewed your pricing page.
    • visitors who visited your demo page, a white paper, or a case study.
    • visitors who visited multiple pages while browsing your website (for example +3 pages).

To launch a retargeting advertising strategy RollWorks offers two options:

  1. Launch a Website Retargeting Playbook
  2. Launch a Website Retargeting Campaign

While the underlying retargeting algorithm is the same for campaigns and playbooks there are some differences in their settings capabilities. You have the ability to choose which option is best for you depending on your goals, the complexity of your strategy, your budget, and your total website traffic.

Choose a Playbook if... Choose a Campaign if...
  • You want to retarget 100% of your website traffic.
  • You want an easy and simple way to manage your advertising campaigns on your own.
  • You want RollWorks machine learning to recommend the ideal budget based on your audience.
  • You don't want to retarget 100% of your website traffic.
  • You want to launch advanced retargeting strategies based on site-visitor activities; this will require setting up your Website Audiences and calculating budgets manually.
  • You want to launch a set of highly customized campaigns that are not currently supported with Playbooks.
  • You want to customize the audience segments to exclude and target in a way that is not currently supported with our Playbooks.
