About Customer	Deep Instinct is a cybersecurity company based in New York, NY, with around 300 employees. The company is at the forefront of cybersecurity, providing anti-malware and protection from unknown, “zero day” threats aimed at endpoint devices and business critical applications. Unlike other providers that protect against known viruses, Deep Instinct is unique in being able to detect and stop threats before they’re on anyone’s radar. The company uses deep learning to prevent viruses from launching, adhering to the belief that 'Once a virus launches, it’s already too late.' Read More
Solution	Deep Instinct decided to use Demandbase, a platform that could support their account-based marketing (ABM) needs. Demandbase became central to Deep Instinct’s marketing efforts and the source of truth their sales and marketing teams rallied around. The platform was used to build highly targeted account lists, automate and orchestrate cross-channel campaigns, and provide data and intelligence for their SDRs to analyze their accounts. It also provided insights around recent activity, journey stage, competitive intent keywords, and more to inform their strategies and pinpoint their hottest opportunities. These insights were automatically pushed into Salesforce, where their sellers live every day. Demandbase’s ability to automatically synchronize audiences to LinkedIn was another key differentiator that made it the preferred choice for Deep Instinct. Read More Log in to view content
