How Does Eloqua Drive the Future of ABX?
Oracle Eloqua evolves account-based marketing into account-based experiences (ABX) by unifying intent, buying-group signals, and journey orchestration. Deliver the next best message, to the right role, across channels—then prove impact with opportunity and pipeline attribution.
Eloqua powers ABX by identifying buying groups, activating multi-channel plays (email, ads, social, sales alerts), and measuring revenue outcomes. It connects intent, firmographic fit, website behaviors, and CRM opportunity data to trigger orchestrations that move accounts from awareness → engagement → pipeline → expansion—governed by consent and preferences.
