He discusses how companies like Clearbit can enhance existing data, offering strategies to optimize advertising and remarketing efforts by targeting or excluding specific audiences based on the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). Breen outlines practical applications for using Clearbit data, such as stopping retargeting of non-ICP visitors, identifying high-value prospects, evaluating ad traffic quality, and tailoring campaigns for existing customers. He also addresses challenges associated with using Clearbit, including audience size requirements, the risk of focusing too narrowly on ideal prospects, and limitations in Google Analytics' custom dimensions. Breen ultimately positions data augmentation as a crucial tool for B2B companies aiming to refine their marketing strategies and drive better outcomes.
