The Challenge
Thales Cloud Protection and Licensing, a global leader in data protection, was facing challenges with their sales and marketing tech stack. Despite having CRM, marketing automation, and a chat bot in their EMEA division, they were struggling to transition from a traditional lead-gen focus to a modern, efficient Account-Based Marketing (ABM) approach. They lacked the necessary data to make informed decisions and desired a single source of truth for sales and marketing, with intent and engagement data. They also wanted to identify which accounts were visiting their website, data that went beyond their own first-party data. Furthermore, they lacked the tools and integrations to automate and scale ABM. The challenge was to find a solution that could address these deficiencies.
The Solution
Thales turned to Demandbase One: ABX and Advertising to address their challenges. Demandbase One now sits at the center of their ABM strategy, driving account selection, monitoring target accounts’ intent and engagement, and activating, refining, and automating targeted ad campaigns. Thales is in the process of integrating Demandbase One with Salesforce, which will be followed by integrating their direct mail gifting tool, Reachdesk, and a content experience platform to scale their personalization efforts. Thales was already using Demandbase in their Asia Pacific region for targeted advertising, but they discovered that it could also fill a number of their data and automation needs as a single solution. The rich insights, numerous integrations, and orchestration functionality of Demandbase were key factors in their decision to adopt it.
Operational Impact
  • The implementation of Demandbase One has led to significant operational results for Thales. The ABM program is driving massive results, saving a significant amount of time with ABX Certification and higher quality Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) lists. Thales is now using Demandbase to build all their ICP account lists based on intent and engagement data, allowing them to focus on accounts that are most likely to be in market. This has changed their targets’ perception and engagement, with their first ABM ad campaigns achieving impressive results. The sales teams are part way through their onboarding and are eager for more, with the platform being described as 'powerful'. The implementation of Demandbase has simplified their operations, consolidating multiple needs into a single solution.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Quadrupled industry average click-through rates
  • Re-engaged 50% of disengaged target account list
  • Doubled number of Marketing Qualified Accounts (MQAs)
