Overview
Monte Carlo Improves Deal Velocity and Drives More Conversions with Content Intelligence
Monte Carlo, the creator of the data observability category, had a popular blog with a wealth of content. As their category leadership evolved, they needed a better way to understand what content was resonating with their audience and to capture a deeper level of intent. They knew that their blog content was key to generating leads, but they needed a more effective way to connect buyers with the right content at the right time.
The Challenge
Struggling with Manual Content Distribution and Attribution
The team’s existing content distribution process was largely manual, relying on organic channels like email, social media, and blogging platforms. The team lacked a seamless way to share content with prospects while capturing intent, which made it a challenge to attribute content’s true impact on lead generation and demo requests. The team needed to move beyond this manual process and find a way to connect the dots between content distribution, audience engagement, and conversions to accelerate the buyer’s journey.
The Solution
Leveraging PathFactory for a Seamless Omnichannel Experience
Monte Carlo implemented PathFactory to move their content into a seamless, omnichannel experience. The team started by moving all their content into PathFactory playlists and linking to them from their website’s Resources, Product Tour, and Case Studies pages. This allowed them to better categorize their on-demand content and be more strategic and granular with their form strategy, opting to soft-gate high-value assets while providing ungated resources.
They also created specific content tracks for ad campaigns to drive potential leads to hyper-relevant packages of content. This new approach provided the sales team with near-real-time content consumption data, allowing them to reach out to prospects immediately. By using PathFactory to package helpful resources and product demo videos, potential customers could now learn more about Monte Carlo at their own pace.
The Results
Improving Deal Velocity and Boosting Conversions
The new approach had an immediate impact on engagement and lead generation. The team saw a 47% increase in return bingers, demonstrating that the frictionless experience encouraged prospects to come back for more. In just a year, their Product Tour content track alone generated over 1,000 form submissions, quickly becoming one of their highest-converting assets. Overall, 35% of visitors looked at more than one asset, confirming that buyers preferred the new content packages over one-off, gated assets. By leveraging PathFactory, Monte Carlo successfully increased the quality, volume, and speed of conversions, ultimately accelerating the velocity of the buyer’s journey from curiosity to a happy customer.
