As B2B marketers, we all use proven demand gen tactics, so... how can we beat our competition if they use the same tactics? By doing something new, of course! Savvy B2B marketers are using Connected TV as an effective way to boost demand generation. Performance TV platform MNTN has firsthand experience at benefitting from CTV's demand gen capabilities: It ran B2B CTV ads to reach new prospects using third-party audience data, retargeted site visitors, and targeted leads on its ABM email lists. The campaign tested two ads against each other, featuring MNTN Chief Creative Officer Ryan Reynolds (yes, him!), and the results were, well, certainly not what Ryan was expecting. Here's the whole story: "How a Performance TV B2B Campaign Shattered Ryan Reynolds' Confidence..." Check it out!
