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.
