How Cacheflow Closed Their Largest Deal Using MetaMatch Audiences

Challenge

Cacheflow’s primary challenge was efficiently targeting and converting high-quality leads to close significant deals. As a SaaS company, they needed a precise and effective way to reach their ideal audience segments, particularly in the highly competitive rev ops (revenue operations) space. Traditional targeting methods on platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn were not delivering the granular precision required to maximize their advertising ROI.

Approach

  • Audience Segmentation: They identified specific job titles and personas such as RevOps, sales leadership (VPs and directors), finance managers, and C-suite executives. This segmentation allowed for highly targeted campaigns.
  • Leveraging MetaMatch: By utilizing MetaMatch, Cacheflow could access detailed technographic and firmographic data, enabling more precise targeting compared to native platform options on Facebook and LinkedIn.
  • Multi-Channel Campaigns: They ran campaigns primarily on LinkedIn and Facebook, with a portion of the budget for retargeting on Instagram. This multi-channel approach ensured consistent visibility and reinforced their messaging.
  • Continuous Optimization: Performance metrics were closely monitored, and ad creatives and targeting criteria were continuously optimized based on data insights. This iterative process helped maintain campaign effectiveness and cost efficiency.
  • Varied Ad Creatives: A range of ad creatives, including feature highlights, pain points, and customer testimonials, were developed and tailored to each audience segment. Testing different formats and messages allowed them to identify what resonated best with their target audience.
  • Remarketing Strategies: MetaMatch was used to create remarketing audiences, targeting individuals who had previously engaged with their ads or visited their website. This strategy kept Cacheflow top-of-mind for potential customers, increasing conversion likelihood over time.

Results

The implementation of MetaMatch audiences yielded significant results for Cacheflow. They successfully closed their largest deal to date, which was notably above their average deal size. This deal was sourced from a cold-targeting Facebook ad campaign, showcasing the effectiveness of MetaMatch in reaching and converting high-value leads. The precise targeting enabled by MetaMatch also resulted in better lead quality and lower cost-per-click (CPC) compared to native targeting options. This strategic approach not only increased their lead volume but also improved the overall efficiency and effectiveness of their marketing efforts​ 

By using MetaMatch, Cacheflow was able to streamline their marketing processes, reduce acquisition costs, and ultimately close more substantial deals, contributing to their growth and success in the competitive SaaS market.

“We just closed our biggest deal yet from a cold-targeting Facebook ad using MetaMatch. Analytics showed we were hitting them on LinkedIn too. Our best leads come from our RevOps-based MetaMatch audience, which, although only about 15K, provides very clean and effective targeting.”
