In September of this year, the company announced an integration with LinkedIn where Channel99 measures the view-through attribution from organic and paid social programs and maps it all the way through to pipeline impact.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Powered by AI<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A variety of activations are now live and\u00a0include LinkedIn, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, YouTube and Audyence, with others planned for G2, TechTarget, The TradeDesk, NetLine, StackAdapt and Reddit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m excited that Channel99 customers can now leverage our best-in-class account identification to create high-performing audiences that grow and accelerate pipeline,\u201d said Golec. \u201cLeveraging AI to recommend which channels make the most sense for a particular audience and desired outcome eliminates a lot of the financial inefficiency that exists in B2B today.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Channel99 has launched Paid Search Optimization, a new capability designed to help B2B marketers improve the financial efficiency and accountability of their paid search investments.
