Steps for Targeted Cross-Channel Advertising:

Import Your Target Account List

You can import accounts into Primer in one of two ways:

  • Connect your CRM (Salesforce or HubSpot) and pull in your account lists

  • Upload a CSV file with your target account data

Apply Persona Filters

After importing your accounts, apply filters to narrow down to relevant contacts:

  • Department (e.g., Marketing, Finance, IT)

  • Job Title

  • Seniority

This ensures that ads reach relevant stakeholders (e.g., champions, decision-makers).

Choose Channels

Select one or more of the following ad platforms to push your audience to:

  • LinkedIn

  • Meta

  • Google Ads

  • YouTube

Then click “Finish & Run” to sync your audience.

✅ Primer handles audience matching automatically. Typical match rates:

  • LinkedIn: up to ~85%

  • Google: around ~30%

Launch Campaigns in Ad Managers

Go to your selected ad platforms and set up ad campaigns using the synced audiences. Start with awareness-stage ads targeting your refined account + persona lists.

Target Accounts Based on Funnel Stage

Primer supports additional audience segmentation from your CRM:

  • Intent-based audiences: Accounts showing buyer intent

  • Engaged leads: Accounts that have recently taken action (e.g., content download)

  • Open opportunities: Expand targeting to include procurement, finance, and legal stakeholders

Use these audiences to run mid- and bottom-of-funnel campaigns.

Measure Results with Holdout Groups

Primer automatically creates a holdout group for each audience. This allows you to measure the incremental lift of your advertising campaigns — independent of other activities like:

  • Sales outreach

  • Field events

  • Direct mail

With these steps, your multi-channel ABM campaign is now live and measurable across every stage of the funnel.
