“A FIRE marketing strategy allows teams to focus on the quality of leads rather than volume,” said Peter Herbert, CMO of FullStory and an account-based marketing pioneer. “I feel honored to be chosen by my peers as a FIRE Marketer. Driving operational excellence in marketing by using data is essential to modern marketing. It’s exciting to see marketers recognized for integrating new and exciting data into their marketing strategy.”

EverString makes FIRE Marketing simple with a modern data platform that delivers centralized account intelligence, letting marketers know which accounts to target. The FIRE dashboard provides full visibility into accounts and their scores on Fit, Intent, Recency, and Engagement (FIRE):

Fit tells marketers which accounts are a good match for their product or service.
Intent provides a look at who’s doing research, signaling an intent to buy.
Recency provides insight on how recently an account showed intent or engaged with the brand.
Engagement tells when and in what way the account engaged with the brand.

“I’d like to congratulate each of the professionals recognized with a FIRE Marketer Award this year,” said J.J. Kardwell, CEO and co-founder of EverString. “Their incredible success validates the FIRE approach of putting the best-fit accounts in the hands of sales and marketing teams, so they can close more deals, using AI-human integration to focus on high-quality leads and transform operations.”
