The Challenge

The media sales intelligence challenge

Selling advertising, media technology, and content solutions requires understanding an industry in constant disruption. Streaming wars, privacy regulations, AI-generated content, and shifting ad budgets create a volatile landscape where yesterday's intelligence is already outdated. Your prospects — VPs of Media, CMOs, Heads of Content Strategy — are making real-time allocation decisions, and sellers who cannot keep pace with their changing priorities get ignored.

Media buyers are notoriously well-informed and time-constrained. They expect vendors to understand their audience demographics, content strategy, competitive positioning, and advertising performance before the conversation begins. Building this picture for a single account requires reviewing quarterly earnings commentary on ad revenue, tracking content strategy announcements, monitoring agency relationship changes, and understanding competitive dynamics — a process that can take hours per prospect.

The media industry's complexity also means that one-size-fits-all sales tools fail completely. A broadcast network, a digital publisher, a streaming platform, and a retail media network all buy differently, prioritize differently, and respond to different signals. Your sales team needs intelligence that adapts to the specific media sub-segment of each target account.

Customer Story

How Analytic Partners increased pipeline 40% and accelerated Fortune 500 deals

The Challenge

Analytic Partners' sales team was spending two to three hours per account piecing together intelligence from five to ten different sources. Reps needed to understand each prospect's media spending patterns, measurement challenges, and strategic priorities — but the manual research process limited them to three to five accounts per week.

The Solution

Salesmotion centralized media-relevant intelligence into one platform, reducing research time by 85%. AI-generated talking points surfaced the two to three themes executives were actively discussing — ad spend changes, measurement methodology shifts, and strategic initiatives — enabling reps to start real conversations faster and advance Fortune 500 deals.

We're no longer fishing. We know who the right customers are, and we can qualify them quickly. Salesmotion has had a direct impact on pipeline quality.
