The control point is not the bid, it is the audience file. When the file is built from verified accounts and 100+ filters, the DSP stops buying strangers. That is how a campaign gets to 3x industry CTR at less than a quarter of prior cost without pretending impressions are pipeline.

CIENCE GO Digital is a B2B programmatic advertising platform that bundles ICP-based audience creation with demand-side platform (DSP) ad buying in a single tool. Part of the graph8 GTM platform, GO Digital delivers 3x industry-standard click-through rates at a fraction of the cost by targeting only verified B2B accounts.

From Daniel Conn, GTM Strategist, graph8: "Most B2B ad spend is wasted not because of poor creatives: but because the audience definition is wrong. When you build your targeting from verified contact data with 100+ filters, you stop paying to reach people who were never going to buy. Precision at the audience layer is where the real ROI lives."

CIENCE introduced GO Digital as the next generation of account-based marketing (ABM). The ad management tool combines CIENCE's industry-leading GO Data custom audience creation platform and Bidder-as-a-Service (BaaS) DSP functionality to give marketers precise programmatic ad targeting for preferred audiences.

Unlike other platforms, GO Digital offers the best of both worlds in a single offering: GO Data custom audience creation comes bundled with advanced advertising options for display, video, audio, or social media channels.

"We're excited to become marketing's best friend, or at least its new secret weapon." :Eric Quanstrom, CMO at CIENCE

How GO Digital Works

Unique among DSPs, CIENCE GO Digital offers a system that allows buyers of digital advertising inventory to manage both ad exchange and data exchange accounts.

Real-time bidding for online advertising (display, video, audio) takes place within the ad exchanges, and by utilizing the CIENCE GO Digital DSP, marketers can manage their cost-per-mile (CPM) bidding.

CIENCE GO Digital bundles CIENCE GO Data to provide exacting target audiences. GO Data has access to millions of business users, allowing you to set more than a hundred B2B targeting filters. This makes it possible to reach both hyper-targeted small segmented audiences or hit an entire total addressable market (TAM) cost-effectively, depending on marketing goals.

Benefits of GO Digital

CIENCE's GO Digital data stores only high-quality B2B accounts that are constantly validated, so ads are only displayed in front of the right audience that fits your ideal customer profile precisely. Trusted by 2,500+ companies across 250+ industries, CIENCE has built audience intelligence that eliminates wasted ad spend at the source.

"We use GO Digital to target our entire ideal customer profile, which we've created in CIENCE GO Data," said Quanstrom. "It's a smooth account-based marketing workflow that helps us raise awareness and sell our offerings."

Using the CIENCE GO Digital DSP allows marketers to optimize campaigns based on set key performance indicators (KPIs) such as effective cost per click (eCPC) and effective cost per action (eCPA). In addition, the advanced BaaS options keep costs lower than other ad solutions.

"Because of the targeting capabilities, we've seen three times the industry standard click-through rates (CTRs) on our display advertising," said Quanstrom. "And we've done this at less than a quarter of the costs of the previous solutions we'd used. This has enabled us to scale our advertising programs to significant volumes of leads."
