Leadspace has launched a B2B “audience management platform”, which combines a company’s own data with third-party data, contact databases, social profiles, intent data, and data on the open web. It includes individuals and companies. Data is updated in real time and made available to other systems for analysis and execution. In other words, it’s a B2B CDP.

Takeaway: treat each customer the way they prefer.
