Jun 14, 2017

LOS ALTOS, Calif., June 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — ZenIQ, the fast-growing account-based marketing (ABM) orchestration solution, today announced the close of $4.6 million in funding led by Costanoa Ventures and new investor Salesforce Ventures.

ZenIQ combines account data, recommends next best actions and then orchestrates actions across the marketing and sales stack. Companies like Ayla Networks, CallidusCloud, Cloudera, HG Data, Host Analytics, Infoblox and Tipalti use ZenIQ to:

Increase Account Coverage and Account Engagement

  • Recommend new, relevant people whose engagement is important for pipeline acceleration (based on historical data)
  • Identify pre-pipeline accounts with declining or increasing engagement and the next best engagement action for each persona in the account
  • Determine upsell paths for current customers based on historical analysis

Increase Campaign Performance

  • Recommend missing accounts, missing people to be added to planned and running campaigns based on the Ideal Account Profile and Ideal Persona Profile for each campaign based on historical data
  • Identify people who are not engaging on digital channels despite high outbound activity and move them into direct mail or in-person event invitations
  • Based on intent demonstrated (on customer or 3rd party website), align message shown across channels (email, display ads, retargeting, and phone)

Recommend New Campaigns

  • Determine events to be organized (location, type, persona to be invited) based on statistical analysis of historical campaigns
  • Identify Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL) imbalances by territory as the basis for launching new campaigns

“Account-Based Marketing is the hottest trend in marketing today, yet there is enormous confusion on what technologies actually deliver,” said Srihari Kumar, founder and CEO of ZenIQ. “This investment will help us deliver against the real promise of ABM.”

“Costanoa is no stranger to Account-Based Marketing with investments in ABM names such as Demandbase,” stated Greg Sands, Founder and Managing Partner, Costanoa Ventures. “This investment in ZenIQ comes at a time when marketers are looking for direction on where to place their bets in Account-Based Marketing technologies.”

“I have been waiting for 10 years for something like ZenIQ. It enables targeted, high-impact marketing in a way that puts it at the vanguard of marketing technologies,” said Jason Hekl, former SiriusDecisions analyst who was on the team that first popularized the term Account-Based Marketing. “I am very excited to see ZenIQ leading the transformation of marketing.”
