Influ2 is a contact-level ABM platform built around a simple reality traditional account-based marketing tools ignore: people make decisions, not accounts. Legacy ABM software stops at the account level and nameless personas, leaving go-to-market teams guessing who is actually interested. Influ2 removes that blind spot by enabling teams to target, engage, and measure impact at the contact level across the entire buying journey. With Influ2’s contact-level advertising, teams define who to reach using sales activity, pipeline stages, and CRM data to align with sales priorities. Deliver ads to specific decision-makers across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Google, Bing, Amazon, and more, and know exactly who saw or engaged with each message. Every impression and click is tied to a named person, without relying on cookies, IP targeting, or form fills, and in compliance with CCPA and GDPR. Influ2 also brings contact-level intent into the mix. Marketing and Sales can see which buyers are researching relevant topics through search behavior, content consumption, social activity, and ad engagement. These signals are shown with context and can be pushed directly into sales workflows so reps know who to prioritize and what to say. In addition to targeting and intent, Influ2 enables contact-level buyer journeys. Marketing controls which ads are shown based on each person’s engagement and sales stage, so buying group members see content that reflects where they are in the decision process. Instead of vague attribution models, Influ2 reporting shows how contact-level engagements influence pipeline, sales conversion rates, and closed revenue, helping Marketing and Sales stay aligned. Enterprises and mid-market companies worldwide use Influ2 to bring ABM to the contact level across pipeline generation, acceleration, retention, and expansion. Influ2 is built for how B2B buying actually happens.
