NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Nov 8, 2017) - As intent data has become a staple of B2B sales and marketing, an inclusive, cooperative business approach has propelled Bombora to become the industry standard for B2B intent data, reflected in record increases in revenue, hiring, and industry recognition.

Bombora aggregates the largest source of B2B intent, demographic and firmographic data, helping marketing and sales teams identify prospects that are displaying strong indicators of purchase intent.

"For all the hype over AI, it is data that has revolutionized the marketing and sales process. Quality data that is usable across platforms, process and touchpoints is what makes the difference in business results for B2B marketers," said Erik Matlick, founder and CEO of Bombora. "Bombora's Company Surge™ data helps B2B marketers prioritize their efforts based on prospect interest, allowing them to zero in on the prospects most likely to engage. We've seen brands large and small find great success with this data, and have therefore sought to make universally available across the B2B marketing ecosystem."
